News about Aaron Cresswell

West Ham's assistant manager Billy McKinlay was sent off after furiously clashing with Bayer Leverkusen coaching staff during Thursday's Europa League clash at the London Stadium. Moments after referee Jose María Sanchez brandished the red card to McKinlay, a mass brawl erupted between the West Ham and Bayer Leverkusen players on the pitch, with just half an hour gone in the crucial Europa League second leg.

KATHRYN BATTE of THE LONDON STADIUM: If you can't perform, don't go on stage. Those were the words David Moyes had used to his West Ham players ahead of their season's biggest game of the season. His crew rose to the occasion - and then some on a night when victory was the only alternative. In the first act, two of West Ham's most popular players, Lucas Paqueta and Jarrod Bowen, appeared. Aaron Cresswell, a man who has had to play more of an understudy role this season, was on the stage. Mohammed Kudus scored a solo goal deserving of a standing ovation before he closed the show with a superb second.

As the situation stands, Michail Antonio's plan to Al-Ettifaq is offended. The 33-year-old has been linked to a transfer to the Middle East, where he will be able to play under new manager Steven Gerrard. Jordan Henderson completed his move to Al-Ettifaq on Thursday, and Antonio seemed to be planning to accompany him, with talks taking place earlier this week. However, the Jamaican forward is expected to remain at West Ham for the time being, with a transfer to Al-Ettifaq off the table.

Julen Lojal, the Wolves' boss, has slammed his club's inability in the transfer market, warning that unless more players are signed, there will be 'poor news' next season. Wolves have signed Matt Doherty on a free transfer, with the defender returning to Molineux three years after leaving for Tottenham Hotspur. Alex Scott and West Ham's Aaron Cresswell are keen, but they have sold Ruben Neves, Conor Coady, Nathan Collins, and Raul Jimenez to raise around £84 million.

Julen Lolley has made a troubling admission regarding Wolves' transfer window, claiming that player influxes and outgoings are "out of his control," while simultaneously reminding that he "needs more players." It comes amid the Midlands club's financial difficulties, with Wolves losing $486.1 million last year, prompting their owners, Fosun Sports Group, to request new funding to help the team keep the side competitive in the Premier League. The Spanish coach recently revealed that the club must address its FFP issues in order to remain in the English top flight, despite concerns surrounding his employment policies.

Arsenal left-back Ian Maatsen is one of those being considered by West Ham to replace Aaron Cresswell, who is in talks to join Wolves for less than £2.5 million. After a stellar season on loan at Burnley, the Dutch full back returned to Chelsea. In all competitions, Maatsen played 42 times for the Clarets, with the left back assisting with four goals and six assists.

Since joining West Ham from Ipswich Town for £3.75 million in 2014, the 33-year-old has been a tenacious servant to the club. He has gone on to make over 330 appearances for the club, earning three England caps along the way and culminating in the Europa Conference League victory over Fiorentina.

The participants were counting on the help of their glamorous partners and children as West Ham took on Fiorentina in the UEFA Europa Conference League final on Tuesday, and it paid off. The West Ham WAGs were out in force, sporting their men's jackets and posing on their beauties while snapping hundreds of photos as the team marched to a historic 2-1 victory over Florence's based side, despite being far from their positions.

Moyes made two changes across his back four, including Vladimir Coufal and Emerson, ahead of the club's match against Fiorentina in Prague. As a result, full backs Thilo Kehrer and Aaron Cresswell, who were both regulars in every competition this season, were forced to settle for a spot on the bench. In the winner-takes-all showdown, Coufal lined up on the right-hand side, with Emerson preferring the left of center back pair Kurt Zouma and Nayef Aguerd.

AT THE AFAS STADION, DANIEL MATTHEWS: West Ham's Europa Conference League semi-final victory over AZ Alkmaar descended on a crowd after Dutch supporters attacked a section of visiting supporters where many of their loved ones were seated. Pablo Fornals' injury-time champion hoped that David Moyes' side would advance to the final next month, but the visitors' celebrations were cut short when hundreds of Alkmaar supporters - dressed in black, hoods up - raced around the streets to spawn horrific scenes of violence. Hundreds of spectators and supporters were gathered behind the away teamout alongside former players and VIPs. Said Benrahma, Michail Antonio, Aaron Cresswell, and Flynn Downes were among the hoardings, although others were pushed back as the conflict threatened to boil after the final whistle.

Aaron Cresswell and Moyes were sent off in the Europa League semi-finals to Eintracht Frankfurt last season, while Declan Rice accused the match officials of misconduct. In the first leg of the Europa Conference League quarter-finals on Thursday, they will face Gent, who will be a family affair for Moyes. Lauren Jnr, son David Jnr, father David Snr, and brother Kenny will all be among the fans at the Ghelamco Arena as the Hammers look to move closer to their first trophy since 1980.

Newcastle United have gained the most from reversed VAR decisions in the Premier League this season, but Manchester City and Brighton will not be enamoured with the technology. According to a report by all 54 decisions, the Video Assistant Referee in the tournament so far has determined which clubs have had the most verdicts in their favour. VAR discusses whether goals should be allowed to stand by checking replays for offside or fouls in the build-up, whether suspensions should be given, and whether red cards should be issued.

The 24-year-old was signed by United for £50 million in 2019, but under new manager Erik ten Hag, who played just four minutes this season after falling behind the pecking order at Old Trafford. The London-based team is expected to offer Wan-Bissaka a way out of the Red Devils in January, but the Red Devils are apparently able to move to a loan move for his January services in January in an attempt to push for their Premier League position.

The odds of James Tarkowski, Ben Mee, Aaron Cresswell, and James Maddison playing together in the Qatar World Cup seem to be infinitely small. However, if Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate (inset top) goes by statistics alone, all four may and possibly should be named in the competition's line-up. Of course, the stage is temporary, and class is permanent, with Southgate known to stick by players he trusts from previous tournaments regardless of form, such as Raheem Sterling (right), Jordan Henderson (centre), and Harry Maguire, who is under fire. So with the above four individuals presumably not to be included in the official 26-man squad, there is a certain air of the improbable about some of the ideas, including Crystal Palace's (inset left) and Ebere Eze (inset center) and Leeds winger Jack Harrison (inset right). Despite this, Sportsmail has delves into the figures to see how England players have fared in the Premier League this season - and pinpoint which under-the-radar stars aren't being considered but may be. Trent Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool has had a rocky season.

KIERAN GILL AT THE LONDON STADIUM: Michail Antonio had the ball and a slew of West Ham teammates assembled in the box with 93 minutes on the clock. Vicente Guaita, the Crystal Palace goalkeeper, took it instead. It was a big mistake. Guaita was not dawdle. He threw the ball to Eberechi Eze, who then turned to Wilfried Zaha, who fed Michael Olise. Olise shot straight into the top corner, with Aaron Cresswell's assist in it. Palace went from back to front in less than 20 seconds, and with that, Patrick Vieira's side won their first Premier League away victory since April.

So there was no forced photo of the England squad with their heads bowed, no mandated speeches, and no one that attempted to pull the national team into a ceremony that was solemn, moving and glorious. And that is just how it should be. If there is one thing that the last ten days of remembrance have taught the sport world, it is that there is a time and a place. And, perhaps, the stadium is not in a 60,000 crowd, and the time is not two minutes before kick-off.

Fans of West Ham were treated to free beers ahead of their team's Europa League Conference match against Danish side Silkeborg. Officials from the Danish club were seen giving out beers to the traveling public who were purchasing their match tickets outside JYSK Park prior to the 8 p.m. game. The gesture of kindness was lauded by the supporters, with supporter Aaron Hinton tweeting a snapshot of the moment and hailing it as 'unbelievable' from Silkeborg.

David Moyes admits that Silkeborg's plastic pitch has given him a pick headache ahead of West Ham's Conference League match in Denmark. After spells that have been disabled, defender Craig Dawson and Aaron Cresswell have been in the team, but he would not risk them in Denmark on the 10,000-seater JYSK Park's superfast turf. We acknowledge that it's an artificial pitch and that we have some decisions to make,' the West Ham manager said. We'll have a look at Craig and Aaron and see what's best for them.'

Tottenham had a penalty early on against West Ham but the VAR reversed it. When speaking out about the talk he had with the referee after the game, Antonio Conte insisted that VAR incorrectly overturned a correct decision and said the procedure in this world is flawed.

MATT BARLOW AT THE LONDON STADIUM. So, here's a London derby for the realists. West Ham isn't nearly as bad as their early findings might have predicted. Tottenham isn't quite finished with the article. That's what the two bosses have been saying. Antonio Conte told Spurs fans that they should celebrate after their stellar start to the season while still worried about the long road ahead and talking about the potential for improvement. After a tumultuous summer on the transfer market, David Moyes has predicted a promising future for the Hammers. Some of his latest signings were on display, but it was one of his old warriors, Tomas Soucek, who earned a point for the home team after falling behind to a first-half own goal scorer by Thilo Kehrer. West Ham were the better team for major portions of the game, finding their rhythm in the second half and vying for a champion as it approached closing stages that became more difficult.

For those who are upset by Richarlison's showboating for Tottenham, you may want to avoid watching West Ham as the London Stadium is another Samba celebrity with a penchant for such bizarre moments. Lyon was leading 3-1 against Troyes in Ligue 1 last year in September. Lucas Paqueta had scored his third, and in stoppage time, he attempted a 'rainbow flick' by sliding the ball between his feet and over Giulian Biancone's head. Harmless, or so he thought. Paqueta was banned from playing on the internet for a lack of patience, and a bemused Neymar took to Instagram to defend his Brazil teammate, saying that the game was dead if having fun was forbidden.

VILLA PARK, GEORGE BOND: When the first chant out of the away end was 'We've got super David Moyes,' the door felt like it had been closed on any chance of the Scot making for the exit. Moyes' credit in the bank has stretches back, and rightly so after a European semi-final and two top-seven finishes. This result was a turning point in this early season. At last, a first victory, a first goal, and off the bottom of the Premier League. It was far from vintage West Ham. Moyes himself said that starting with three children in the back to try to cause his opponents' problems had the exact opposite effect.'
