LUTON, England, Sept 1 (Reuters) - Pacesetters West Ham United claimed a 2-1 Premier League victory at Luton Town thanks to headers by Jarrod Bowen and Kurt Zouma on Friday to spoil the hosts' much-anticipated first top-flight game at their snug Kenilworth Road stadium in 31 years. I don't score many headers," said Bowen, the first West Ham player since 1930 to score in their first three away games. "We showed the character to deal with the atmosphere," West Ham manager David Moyes told the BBC. "Good against a tough team who are going to put teams under a lot of pressure. New signing Ross Barkley launched a left-foot effort moments later that sailed just wide of the West Ham goal.

Premier League soccer clubs spent a record 815 million pounds ($1.00 billion) in the January transfer window, an analysis from Deloitte's Sports Business Group said on Wednesday. It has, however, angered those who claim the Premier League is becoming a de facto European Super League due to its spending power. "What I'm worried about is the Premier League, and I've been worried for many years now," Spain's La Liga president Javier Tebas told a new conference this month. There is no sustainability in the Premier League. The Premier League is not a financially sustainable model."

He was later ordered to complete 180 hours of community service by the Thames Magistrates Court in June, after pleading guilty to the offense, PA Media reported at the time. “I know it was very tough for people to watch and to see that and obviously I feel very, very sorry. During the sentencing at Thames Magistrates’ Court, Zouma was also banned from owning a cat for five years and ordered to pay court fines of nearly £9,000 ($11,214).

Adidas is facing increased pressure from people online to cut ties with Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, after he made a string of antisemitic comments. Ye announced last month that he had terminated his collaboration with Gap over disagreements over the distribution of Yeezy Gap. But several people online pointed out that Gap appears to continue to market the Yeezy Gap collection. Gap told CNN last month that it will continue to sell its existing merchandise from Yeezy Gap in its stores and on its website. It said it will also continue to sell forthcoming collections from Yeezy Gap in the fall and into the first half of 2023.

LONDON, Oct 24 (Reuters) - West Ham United defender Kurt Zouma's headed goal and a Said Benrahma penalty in stoppage time sealed a 2-0 win over Bournemouth in a scrappy Premier League tussle that was marked by VAR controversy at the London Stadium on Monday. There was precious little else for either set of fans to get excited about as West Ham held onto their lead despite some nervy moments as Bournemouth finished strongly. After a check by VAR it was deemed that the accidental handball had not directly led to the goal. West Ham were unable to make the game safe, however, until another contentious decision went their way. Bournemouth did not really offer much in the way of attacking threat and, while West Ham had some breaks, manager David Moyes said his side deserved the points.

Cum a explicat Deschamps decizia de a-l convoca după aproape 6 aniNaționala Franței a anunțat lotul pentru EURO 2020, iar marea surpriză de pe lista selecționerului Didier Deschamps este Karim Benzema, atacantul lui Real Madrid, care nu mai fusese convocat de aproape șase ani. Benzema nu a mai fost chemat la prima reprezentativă a Franţei din 2015, de la povestea care l-a avut ca protagonist pe colegul său, Mathieu Valbuena. Atunci, atacantul a fost acuzat că a vrut să-l escrocheze pe Valbuena într-o afacere de şantaj legată de un sex tape. Didier Deschamps a explicat că a avut o discuție cu Karim Benzema și a hotărât să treacă peste decizia luată în 2015. Competiție va exista mereu, iar ei au fost în echipă timp de trei ani", a spus Deschamps.
