West Ham footballers lost 0:3 in Nottingham in the 10th round of the English Premier League. The sick Czech midfielder Tomáš Souček was missing from the “Hammers” nomination, his compatriot Vladimír Coufal remained only on the bench. The sensational defeat of Manchester City 1:2 at Bournemouth, Pep Guardiola’s team lost in the competition after 32 matches. Arsenal also failed, falling 0:1 with Newcastle and are now three rounds without a win.
Souček did not play at all in a Premier League match for the first time this season. He didn’t even travel to the game with the Hammers.
“I’m sorry that I can’t help the team today. I caught some virus and I’m sick. I’ll support the team as much as I can on TV,” Souček wrote on his profile on the X social network.
I’m sorry I can’t help the team today. I got a virus and I’m sick.. I will support the team as much as possible at home in front of the TV. Let’s go hammers! ⚒️
I do my best to be ready for next week 💪🏽— Tomas Soucek (@tomassoucek28) November 2, 2024
But his support did not take much, the “Hammers”, who played from the end of the first half without the suspended Álvarez, were not eligible at all. They were saved from an even bigger loss by VAR, who canceled Nottingham’s fourth goal in set-up.
Manchester City lost their 32-match league unbeaten run at Bournemouth. Semenyo gave the home team the lead in the 9th minute, Evanilson added after an hour of play and Guardiol only reduced eight minutes before the end.
Arsenal are now three rounds without a win after a 0-1 defeat at Newcastle, which has not happened this calendar year. The home side knocked Chelsea out of the League Cup in midweek and stayed on the winning streak.
In the first half hour, they were the only team in the competition not to score a goal so far this season, but this time Swede Isak hurried up and headed under the crossbar in the 12th minute. Last season’s Premier League’s third-highest scorer is getting back into form after injury. He has scored in each of his three games over the last seven days.
Arsenal didn’t have many chances to equalize, a single and in no way dangerous shot went between the posts.
Liverpool leads the table by two points, which turned the duel with Brighton around in the second half thanks to the interventions of Gakpo and Salah.
Dutchman Slot is the first “Reds” coach to lead the team to eight wins from ten opening rounds in the Premier League.
However, it was not easy in the match against Brighton. Although Liverpool eliminated today’s opponent from the League Cup on Wednesday, they have been losing in the league for a long time.
Vítězslav Jaroš, who was catching on Wednesday, had to give up his place between the posts to Iro Kelleher again. Turek Kadioglu overcame that with the first shot on goal. But in the second half, the Dutchman Gakpo and the Egyptian Salah snatched victory for the home side in a span of four minutes.
Southampton achieved their first victory since promotion to the elite in the match against Everton and left the bottom rung.
He had another two Ipswich newcomers close to their first win against Leicester. The visitors managed to equalize only after Phillips was sent off, Ghanaian Ayew scored the equalizing goal in the set-up.
Wolverhampton fell to last place, after a 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace, they also remain winless.
