Jarrod Bowen scored a controversial Ninetieth-minute penalty as West Ham grabbed a treasured 2-1 win over wasteful Manchester United on the London Stadium to leapfrog Erik ten Hag’s aspect within the desk.

Casemiro seemed to have rescued a degree for the guests after sub Crysencio Summerville had capitalised on some surprising first-half ending to place West Ham forward.

However there was drama within the remaining moments when ref David Coote was despatched to the pitchside monitor by VAR Michael Oliver to look at a collision between Matthijs de Ligt and Danny Ings. Replays appeared to point out the United defender clipping the ball together with his thigh earlier than catching the West Ham attacker on the decrease leg however Coote – after an extended evaluation – determined there was sufficient contact to warrant a penalty.

Man Utd’s gamers have been incensed however Bowen saved his cool to seek out the underside nook and ship his aspect as much as thirteenth within the desk, forward of Man Utd on objectives scored.

It was an actual hammer blow for Ten Hag, who had seen Diogo Dalot fireplace a miss-of-the-season contender over an unguarded aim in a gap 45 minutes which additionally included Alejandro Garnacho hitting the bar, Edson Alvarez heading in opposition to the body of his personal West Ham aim and Man Utd move up a collection of different good alternatives.

The strain on Ten Hag will ramp up once more. It is only one win in eight matches now for his aspect throughout all competitions. In distinction, the scrutiny on his reverse quantity Julen Lopetegui eases.

Ten Hag: VAR unsuitable to intervene for penalty choice

Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag:

“Clear and apparent is not how VAR labored. How they run their course of. Earlier than the season they defined the method of VAR – solely when clear and apparent they need to intervene. What they did not do in opposition to Spurs, that was a unsuitable choice. And now they make a unsuitable choice interfering and each have large influence on the video games. I do not criticise the personnel I criticise the method.

“We created so many possibilities, performed so good soccer, particularly within the first half. How I would like my crew to play out and in of possession. I [counted] six, seven 100 per cent possibilities we should always have scored. That may be a level of enchancment. However total I had not so many criticisms of my crew, aside from not scoring.

“At this second the luck is unquestionably not on our aspect. Final season was not completely different. Close to the tip we turned it round. We’re so decided it is going to be the identical case at present. We have now to show this round and it’ll flip round if we hold taking part in like we are actually – Brentford, Fenerbahce, at present we performed actually good soccer.”

Was De Ligt harshly punished in penalty incident?

Sky Sports activities’ Peter Smith…

With 87 minutes on the clock there was contact between De Ligt and Ings within the field. Initially ref Coote did not award a penalty. Nonetheless, VAR Michael Oliver deemed there was enough contact on Ings’ decrease leg to suggest an on-field evaluation.

Coote then spent round two minutes on the pitchside monitor watching replays of the incident.

It appeared that De Ligt made contact with the ball together with his thigh earlier than catching the West Ham attacker on the decrease leg however ref Coote in the end determined the problem was a foul and awarded a penalty.

The consensus of journalists round us within the press field was that it could not be given as a penalty and there was shock when it was awarded.

Jamie O’Hara on Sky Sports activities Information:

“That was re-refereeing the sport. The on-field referee might see it, he did not give it.

“There was not sufficient contact.

“That was not a correct foul. It is only a little bit of contact within the field. The ball was bouncing and it would not have made any distinction to the place that ball was going.

“That was not clear and apparent. That was not an enormous error.”

Lopetegui: Within the second half we have been the higher crew

West Ham have been reworked by a triple change at half time, when Lucas Paqueta, Konstantinos Mavropanos and Carlos Soler have been swapped for Summerville, Jean-Clair Todibo and Tomas Soucek.

They might have taken the lead earlier than Summerville’s back-post end from Ings’ mis-hit when Emerson miscued a flick from Michail Antonio’s cutback. And boss Lopetegui was inspired by the second half exhibiting after an at-times shambolic defensive show earlier than the break.

“The primary half they have been higher. The second half we modified and we deserved to win the second half. It is true that they had possibilities and that is why we modified quite a bit. Within the second half I feel we have been higher than them.

“Within the second half I might like to spotlight the dedication, the vitality, the mentality and the help from our followers. After they equalised we did not get down and we have been capable of beat probably the greatest groups on the planet. We’re comfortable and looking out ahead.”

Ten Hag’s largest drawback on present once more

Sky Sports activities’ Peter Smith:

Erik ten Hag mentioned there have been “six or seven 100 per cent possibilities we should always have scored”. Opta made it 5 clear-cut openings. However regardless of the determine, this was one other match by which Man Utd’s poor ending value them.

The late penalty name will rightly be debated however Man Utd ought to have been out of sight by then. They might have been 4-0 up on the break in opposition to West Ham. Diogo Dalot made his entry for miss-of-the-decade, Alejandro Garnacho hit the bar and spurned one other good likelihood after slicing in from the left, whereas Bruno Fernandes’ drought goes on after he headed Casemiro’s good move over the bar.

“At this second, luck is unquestionably not on our aspect,” added Ten Hag, after a sport which additionally noticed West Ham’s Edson Alvarez head in opposition to the body of his personal aim.

However United’s ending drawback is greater than a matter of luck. It is too substantial a difficulty for that. Solely Crystal Palace and Southampton (six) have scored fewer Premier League objectives than United’s whole of eight this season. They’ve the most important distinction between Anticipated Objectives and objectives scored within the competitors, with the stat suggesting they need to have scored six or seven greater than they’ve.

It is a matter of composure within the remaining third and precision in the important thing second. United are lacking that proper now and it’s costing them simply as a lot as any controversial refereeing name.

Dalot’s unbelievable miss

A ball excessive from Fernandes discovered Dalot working in behind the West Ham defence. He clipped the ball previous Fabianski and seemed sure to attain from the angle of the six-yard field – however someway lofted his shot over.

There was no offside flag and the sport restarted with a goal-kick. There was nothing to spare Dalot’s blushes.

Sky Sports activities Information’ Paul Gilmour at London Stadium:

“Wow. The whole stadium braced themselves for that to hit the online however as an alternative they’re laughing within the residence finish.

“Dalot did the tough half however has someway missed an open aim.

“He did not fairly watch for the ball to come back down sufficient and has lofted it over with the aim gaping.”

Story of the match in stats…

What’s developing within the Premier League?

The USC soccer crew returns to motion tonight for a uncommon Friday contest. What’s extra, tonight’s sport would be the program’s first-ever assembly with Rutgers.

In fact, with the World Sequence additionally going down in L.A. on Friday night time between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees, a brand new wrinkle has been thrown into the combo for Southern California sports activities followers. USC head coach Lincoln Riley addressed that in his weekly zoom name with the media this week.

“The Friday kicks right here aren’t superb in LA,” he stated. “I do know there’s plenty of different nice sporting occasions that is occurring on Friday, however these clearly present some challenges in LA which can be distinctive to our place. So these are those I am actually not a fan of, however we’re not going to have too a lot of these. That is in all probability going to be a as soon as each two, three years kind of factor.”

Nonetheless, it can possible be Rutgers that has to beat the larger problem with the scheduling of this sport. The crew from New Jersey has needed to not solely fly throughout your entire nation however it can additionally must play a sport that may kick off at 11 p.m. Japanese time. Thus, the physique clocks of the Rutgers gamers will probably be examined in an excessive method.

Rutgers did come to L.A. a day early to attempt to restrict the affect of the journey however one has to marvel simply how a lot that may assist them tonight.

“We usually by no means exit a day early,” Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano stated earlier this week. “Simply, we keep on Rutgers time. However when you have got an 8 o’clock begin Pacific, I do not suppose it is prudent to remain on Rutgers time.”

USC followers have little sympathy for the Scarlet Knights although. Lengthy street journeys east to Michigan, Minnesota, and Maryland have already taken their toll on the Trojans this season and now they appear to learn from internet hosting an east-coast crew.

In fact, when Penn State got here to Los Angeles earlier this yr, they have been capable of escape with a 33-30 time beyond regulation win regardless of the cross-country journey. Nonetheless, that sport kicked off at 4:30 p.m. Japanese time on a Saturday afternoon not at 11 p.m. Japanese on a Friday night time. What’s extra, Penn State is a significantly better crew than Rutgers.

So let’s prepare for this uncommon contest by first what the oddsmakers say. Then, we’ll have our prediciton for tonight’s contest.

All odds courtesy of FanDuel.com.

A month in the past, this sport regarded prefer it is perhaps an essential one within the general scope of the Large Ten race. Now, although, with each groups coming off of three-game dropping streaks, it’s now solely essential to the 2 groups concerned.

Nonetheless, USC desperately must reap the benefits of this chance. The schedule makers of the Large Ten did Rutgers completely no favors by making them journey throughout the nation on a brief week and play a sport that kicks off at almost midnight Japanese time. That ought to be an enormous edge for the Trojans.

If Rutgers has any hope of profitable, will probably be their working sport. Star working again Kyle Monangai is without doubt one of the greatest RBs within the nation.

Already with 845 yards and 10 TDs this season, he’ll be who the Scarlet Knights lean on to attempt to dictate the model of play in tis sport. Can he exploit a USC protection that has struggled at occasions towards the run?

The issue for Rutgers, although, is that accidents have decimated their receiving corps. Thus, they could be only a one-dimensional offense tonight, which might make life a lot simpler on USC defensive coordinator D’Anton Lynn.

On the opposite facet of the ball, Rutgers does not have a fantastic protection. They offer up 385.5 yards per sport, good for under 91st within the NCAA. What’s extra, they’re 98th nationally towards the run by giving up 170.3 yards per sport on the bottom.

If there was ever an evening for Lincoln Riley to function the bottom sport, this might be it. He must lean on Woody Marks and Quentin Joyner to ascertain dominance on the bottom early after which use the passing sport to open issues up.

Miller Moss has only a 2: 1 TD: INT ratio in Large 12 play however at dwelling this yr he is been higher throwing six TDs and solely two picks. Can he get again on monitor tonight towards a suspect protection? USC followers actually hope so.

In the long run, enjoying at dwelling in a late kickoff will probably be what places USC excessive towards Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights have misplaced 9 of their final eleven street video games and that does not bode effectively for the guests from the east coast.

We have been twice pegged again and needed to accept a degree from a pulsating conflict with Liverpool at Emirates Stadium.

Bukayo Saka – again from damage – lashed dwelling our opener earlier than Virgil van Dijk headed the guests degree. A bullet header from Mikel Merino – his first for the membership – put us again in entrance earlier than the interval.

However Liverpool took benefit of accidents to our again line within the second half to attract degree when Mohamed Salah scored on the counter assault.

Our defence – already with out the companies of the suspended William Saliba – then needed to adapt to accidents to Gabriel and Jurrien Timber, however we held on for a degree.

Saka’s half century

After a poignant rendition of the Final Put up to mark the forthcoming Remembrance Day, this eagerly anticipated Premier League conflict kicked off in a crackling Emirates Stadium ambiance.

And the decibel ranges have been boosted contained in the opening ten minutes. Ben White, shuffled alongside to centre again instead of the suspended  Saliba, was given time on the ball inside his personal half and sprayed an exquisite move to the scampering Saka on the best wing. He raced into the world, chopped the ball onto his left foot, utterly deceiving Andy Robertson, and smashed the ball dwelling contained in the close to put up.

What a technique to mark his return to the beginning XI after lacking our final two video games, and it was additionally our proper winger’s fiftieth Premier League purpose. He’s the eleventh Arsenal participant to achieve the landmark within the Premier League, and the seventh youngest for any membership.

Liverpool degree

However the lead was quickly worn out. Virgil van Dijk stole in at a nook, and headed in from shut vary after it was flicked on on the close to put up by Luis Diaz.

We seemed to bounce again with Saka and Gabriel Martinelli filled with operating on the wings. Merino threw himself at a whipped in Declan Rice free-kick, however couldn’t maintain his try heading in the right direction. Saka then shot over from 20 yards following a driving run.

Martinelli beat Trent Alexander-Arnold inside the world to ship in a teasing cross, Kai Havertz although, couldn’t type his ft out in time on the far put up.

Merino magic

Havertz then shot over from a greater place, whereas Martinelli was interesting for a penalty after a slipshod problem on him within the space. VAR checked it, however have been pleased with the referee’s authentic non-decision. Martinelli then shot over as we continued to look harmful going ahead.

A second purpose gave the impression to be on the playing cards, and Merino duly equipped it proper on the finish of the half.

Rice had been on the cash together with his set-piece supply all through the opening 45 minutes, and his inviting free kick from the best was powerfully met by our Spanish midfielder, who might rejoice his first Gunners purpose after a protracted VAR overview for a attainable offside.

Defensive reshuffle

Early within the second half Gabriel needed to be withdrawn, holding his knee, to get replaced by Jakub Kiwior, and our again 4 definitely had an unfamiliar search for the ultimate 35 minutes or so.

The change led to a shift in momentum, with Liverpool starting to look more and more harmful.

Diaz burst into the field to be stopped by Raya earlier than Gravenberch blazed over as we got here beneath strain.

Jurrien Timber was the following of our defenders compelled off, he was changed at left again by Myles Lewis-Skelly.

As we entered the ultimate ten minutes, the strain advised. Darwin Nunez was away down the best, he lower the ball again for Salah within the center to complete. It was our solely defensive slip of the second half.

Our two wingers have been changed for the ultimate ten minutes, having given every little thing on the pitch, with Ethan Nwaneri and Gabriel Jesus approaching.

As the sport entered added time, Jesus bundled the ball dwelling, however the whistle had already gone for an obvious foul by Kiwior within the construct up.

So we needed to accept a degree, conserving us in third place within the desk.

Some individuals keep in mind Jack Jones because the man who sang “The Love Boat” theme music. Others knew him for his somewhat saccharine Grammy Award-winning hits of the early Sixties, “Lollipops and Roses” and “Wives and Lovers.” Many thought-about him the very best Nice American Songbook singer of the rock era.

I knew him as a man who liked to inform accordion jokes.

Jack, who died Wednesday at Eisenhower Medical Middle at age 86, was a nationwide treasure and an establishment within the Coachella Valley. He performed the primary season of the McCallum Theatre in 1988 and made it his resident theater till the COVID pandemic. Former McCallum President and CEO Ted Giatas made Jack the theater’s spokesman, and their marketing campaign to promote the McCallum as “your theater” helped it overcome the mountains of debt gathered within the Nineties.

Jack’s reveals grew to become dazzling celebrations of not simply his expertise, however his love of this group. He performed with symphony orchestras, massive bands, and small combos — by no means doing the identical present twice – and lived as much as the potential many of the world didn’t see.

In 1964, Frank Sinatra anointed Jack as “the very best potential singer” of all of that 12 months’s male newcomers, which included The Beatles.

Sammy Davis Jr. referred to as him “Mr. Good Singer.” Mel Torme described him as “the very best of the pop singers who sing up to date materials.” Jazz and cabaret critic Will Friedwald introduced him with a Mabel Mercer Award by calling him “the final piece of the true cross; the youngest of the era for whom these songs had been written.”

When his voice roughened from smoking 5 packs of cigarettes a day within the Nineteen Seventies, New York Instances critic Stephen Holden praised him for traits reminiscent of his “world-weary cragginess” and “sudden flights right into a quasi-falsetto.”

I wrote for 1 / 4 century that he was heir-apparent to Tony Bennett as Sinatra’s successor.

However Jack by no means took that stuff severely. He made jokes about Sinatra and Bennett refusing to retire. When he sang “The Love Boat” with a cool swing that might get your head bopping, he’d disrupt the temper by impersonating a foghorn.

He’d inform the viewers he knew “Wives and Lovers” was sexist, however “It’s my hit, dammit, and I’m going to sing it.” Then he’d change the lyrics to make enjoyable of it.

Jack toured army bases with Bob Hope through the Vietnam Conflict and got here away with a penchant for quips at inopportune moments. When somebody would shout out a request for a music, he’d reply, “I don’t do this one, however this one has lots of the identical notes!”

He astonished musical legends along with his prowess. One evening after he was inducted into the Palm Springs Stroll of Stars in 2003, he performed to a McCallum viewers, together with Barry Manilow, Suzanne Somers, Diane Schuur, Barbara Sinatra, and “Love Boat” star Gavin MacLeod. Sinatra swooned as he sang her late husband’s theme music, “Put Your Desires Away.”

Schuur indicated he nailed “Harmful Temper” even after Jack mentioned he had “no proper to sing the blues.” After the live performance, I used to be within the inexperienced room when Manilow approached him and requested if he did that form of present each evening. Jack mentioned matter-of-factly, “That’s my present.”

One other evening, I used to be at Pete Carlson’s Golf & Tennis in Palm Desert when saxophonist Tom Scott was killing it earlier than a crowd of jazz lovers nestled among the many golf golf equipment and tennis rackets. Jack had sung that afternoon at a Jackie Lee Houston luncheon honoring Carol Channing, and he had simply gotten off the highway. He was drained. However Scott introduced there was “a neighborhood singer” within the crowd, and he requested Jack to sing.

After cracking a few jokes, Jack launched a primordial scat on the basic Joe Williams blues, “Alright, okay, You Win,” and acquired the evening’s solely standing ovation. It left Scott shocked that somebody might are available chilly and do this.

I wrote after that night, “In the end, individuals will notice he’s the very best there’s.”

Jack grew up the son of present enterprise royalty. His mom, Irene Hervey, had a 50-year movie and TV profession, together with motion pictures reminiscent of “The Depend of Monte Cristo,” “Destry Rides Once more,” and the movie noir basic, “A Cry within the Night time.” She earned an Emmy nomination for a visitor look on “My Three Sons.”

Her co-star within the 1940 movie, “The Boys of Syracuse,” was her husband, Jack’s father, Allan Jones, who had already co-starred within the Marx Bros. classics, “A Night time on the Opera” and “A Day on the Races.” Allan was a classically skilled singer with a novelty hit with “Donkey Serenade.” He didn’t like his son’s fascination with Sinatra’s pop stylings, particularly his darkish “For Solely the Lonely” LP. However, when his son needed to pursue his personal singing profession, he added him to his present in Las Vegas.

Jack had attended College Excessive College in Hollywood with Nancy Sinatra, who grew to become a lifelong good friend. His household had a second house in Palm Springs close to the Sinatras, the place Jack would attempt to journey his bike by way of grime roads. He attended Nellie Coffman Junior Excessive College in 1950.

I’ll always remember being within the principal’s workplace of Nellie Coffman Center College when my son attended that faculty within the early 2000s. The college had moved to Cathedral Metropolis, however the principal had a photograph on his wall of the category of 1950, and there was Jack.

My relationship with Jack stumbled out of the beginning blocks. I didn’t just like the rock covers his file labels made him sing within the Nineteen Seventies. So I wasn’t a fan. Within the mid-Nineties, he portrayed Sky Masterson on the McCallum firstly of a nationwide tour of the musical, “Guys and Dolls.” I wrote that he hadn’t “discovered his character but”, and Jack was so offended that he wrote a letter to the editor.

Then I heard him sing with a jazz combo. His recording profession was on the wane, and he determined to do what he had at all times liked: jazz. I used to be astonished by his ingenious vocals. His tone and vary had been at all times outstanding, however I raved about his ardour and musicality.

When my spouse, Jane, produced the primary Jazz Superstar Golf & JAMS Session as a profit for Huge Brother Huge Sisters of the Desert in 1997, Jack was so impressed with all the good musicians who turned out free of charge, together with his shut good friend, former Depend Basie vocalist Joe Williams, he confirmed up the subsequent 12 months. He huddled with blues-based jazz singer Ernie Andrews and the late nice jazz vocalist Mike Costley, and I advised they sing Williams’ hit with the Basie band, “Alright, Okay, You Win,” And it blew the viewers away.

Jack confirmed a tremendous facility for scatting, and he developed a relationship with Costley that generated vocal fireworks each time they appeared on stage collectively.

When the Jazz Superstar Golf and JAMS Session misplaced its sponsor in 2002, Jack tried to make it a profit for the McCallum. That didn’t occur, however Jack and I remained mates. He even admitted he did “discover his character” in “Guys and Dolls” a number of weeks after my evaluation.

By then, he had earned approval for his starring position in a nationwide touring manufacturing of “Man of La Mancha.” He proved he might assume the character of Dox Quixote on the drop of a helmet by truly beginning his concert events by making use of Quixote make-up on stage. Then he’d sing a collection of songs, together with his stirring hit recording of “The Unimaginable Dream.”
I used to induce him to file a complete album of blues, and in 2021, he lastly did. He referred to as it “Each Different Day I Have the Blues.”

Jack by no means ascended to the place of “Sinatra’s inheritor.” His voice and well being started to falter by the point his expensive good friend, Bennett, was able to relinquish that title. However Jack discovered happiness within the desert along with his sixth spouse, Eleonora, with whom he had the time to be a proud dad to his two daughters, Nicole and Crystal, and three grandchildren.

One in all his greatest native mates was Invoice Marx, a jazz pianist with the same heritage. Jack’s father, Allan Jones, had acted with Invoice’s father, Harpo Marx. They met in Los Angeles and adopted the same path to the desert, changing into mates and musical companions.

Invoice referred to as Jack 10 weeks in the past when it was rumored that Jack had rallied from leukemia. Jack was busy and mentioned he’d name again, however he by no means did. On Thursday, Marx spoke fondly of his good friend.

“He had an excellent voice,” he mentioned, “and he was a pleasant man.”
