Premier League clubs have voted unanimously for a major new rule change at today's shareholders' meeting. The new rule is set to be brought in next season, but will not be ready for the start of the campaign.  It will impact how offside calls are made moving forward in England's top division, and will come into effect after one of the international breaks, meaning it will be introduced as early as September or as late as November.

Wolves boss Gary O'Neil is charged by the FA over furious reaction to ruled-out equaliser against West Ham - with head coach facing potential touchline ban for his actions at Molineux

TOM COLLOMOSSE: Gary O'Neil faces a potential touchline ban after he was handed an FA charge following his furious reaction when Wolves were denied a late equaliser last Saturday. Wolves thought Max Kilman had made it 2-2 deep into stoppage time against West Ham only for the goal to be chalked off after a long VAR check, as substitute Tawanda Chirewa was judged to have impeded Hammers goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski from an offside position. O'Neil labelled the call 'possibly the worst decision I have ever seen' and now looks set to pay the price for his outspoken reaction.

After a video review in the 99th minute of stoppage time, Max Kilman's last-gasp equalizer was disapproved, a decision that enraged boss Gary O'Neil. Following the final whistle, O'Neil was escorted out of the referee's room and told the authorities that the call was 'possibly the worst I've ever seen.' Shi has now pleaded with decision makers to address club fears. Kilman went beyond Lukasz Fabianski for one of the game's final kicks, but only for VAR Tim Robinson to spot Tawanda Chirewa in an offside position in front of the goalkeeper. Referee Tony Harrington was then compelled to look at his pitchside monitor, according to him.

Wolves thought they had won a late equalizer in their Premier League match against West Ham, but Max Kilman's header was disallowed in a decision that both bemused and angered in equal measures. Gary O'Neil was post-match and furious at the VAR call, calling it a "constitutional call." Terrible. Horrendous.' When Kilman went into the net, he was in an offside position, in close proximity to Hammers keeper Lukasz Fabianski.

With a 1-0 victory over the League One hopefuls on Wednesday evening, Tomas Soucek's second-half goal ensured that West Ham survived a difficult test in the Carabao Cup third round at Lincoln.

Despite winning, LEICESTER 2-1 HAMMER: Despite winning, the Foxes are RELEGATED from the Premier League

2-1 WESTHAM HAM ISA MICHELLE HERBERT AT THE KING POWER STADIUM: No one needed a transistor radio to know that the magnificent Leicester City tale had been reduced to dust in the space of seven years, but not to dust. Everton's news was ferociously from a gleeful West Ham contingent taking joy in another team's misfortune. Leicester supporters sang of them as they fell,' they went.' The two of them sang of themselves as they traveled to Prague.' 'Say hello to Millwall,' a narrator said.' And then, after losing only two games since back-to-back victories, which had brought brief hope in early February, came to an end for Leicester's players of milling around on the field, clustered around a phone at one point, waiting for Everton's final whistle and a spectacular reprieve that never arrived. Before the relegation, which some had felt inevitable, there were precious few words between them - nothing to say.

As Erik ten Hag's attempts to resolve problems, a man United seasons is on a cliff edge in the Liverpool match

www.dailymail.co.uk, May 11, 2023
Although Erik ten Hag would have reminisce about the possibility of facing Juventus in the Europa League semi-finals, the rutinous schedule is merciful, and his squad was given two days off. United have several troubling warnings of lateness, as a result of the fact that there isn't much left in the tank. If the warning light isn't already flashing, it will be gone, and though Ten Hag insists that "tiredness is in your head," his players are obviously running on fumes. However, the manager's head will have been whirring all week because United now find themselves in a difficult situation when it comes to securing Champions League football next season.

JACK GAUGHAN AT THE ETIHAD: Erling Haaland of Manchester City scored his 35th Premier League goal of the season on Wednesday to help his team win 3-0 over West Ham United, knocking him off the top of the table. Nathan Ake led the breakthrough five minutes after the break with a header from a free kick. Haaland then defused the tension around Etihad Stadium as he carried on Jack Grealish's through ball to defeat Lukasz Fabianski and move past the 34 goals of Andy Cole and Alan Shearer with five games remaining.

CHRIS WHEELER AT THE ETIHAD STADIUM: Jack Grealish slipped the ball into open space, and Erling Haaland was waiting for history. The Manchester City striker still had to finish and it hadn't been his night up to that point, but did we doubt him for a second? Of course not. As the West Ham goalkeeper raced to the edge of his box, Haaland waited for the right time and dinked the ball over Lukasz Fabianski with his left foot. Fabianski had a hand in the ball but couldn't prevent it from falling into the net. So there we had it. Andrew Cole and Alan Shearer's record set in the mid-90s equals his 35th Premier League goal of the season. With five league games remaining in the season, it's an incredible achievement.

Is Arsenal starting to unravel in the title fight with a tenacious Man City chasing them?

It was two minutes that might have defined the Premier League season. Arsenal and Bukayo Saka had the opportunity to dampen a resurgent West Ham after Michail Antonio was found not to have handled Gabriel Martinelli's shot. They went 3-1 up. Saka, who had scored all four of his Premier League goals for the Gunners this season, had the opportunity to almost guarantee Mikel Arteta's side another victory and extended their lead over Manchester City to six points. The 21-year-old, who is up for re-election after a good run, nevertheless made his penalty wide of Lukasz Fabianski's goal, and the Hammers and their followers were lauded right away.

Chelsea 1-1: West Ham 1-1 Chelsea: The Blues are out for their third straight draw

WEST HAM 1-1 CHELSEA OLIVER HOLT AT THE LONDON STADIUM: Chelsea's first 20 minutes at the London Stadium seemed to be wrought in gold. Joao Felix scored a stunning goal and played like the elusive, creative number 10 every side craves. Enzo Fernandez displayed some of the dynamism and orchestration that persuaded Chelsea to make him the most expensive signing in British transfer history. Mykhailo Mudryk, a snip at £88 million, was everywhere. However, it would appear that fielding half a billion pounds in your starting eleven does not guarantee you a second half these days. The visitors faded, Fernandez, Felix, and Mudryk slipped into anonymity, and some fans began to pay more attention to the perambulations of a flock of pigeons on the pitch after West Ham united. Todd Boehly may buy one of them if he can find a number for their agent.

Lukasz Fabianski says Poland's chances of qualifying for the first time since 1986 will be put into question by their first game against Mexico. Poland began their campaign on Tuesday, with the aim of being able to emerge from a alliance that includes Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and Lionel Messi's Argentina.

If anyone is honest with themselves, there will be some people who are not surprised to see Lukasz Fabianski here. Shots are still being blocked in the Premier League, but there is already the first-choice goalkeeper of a top-flight team with European ambitions.

Any pro footballer will admit that moving to the Premier League is a daunting challenge, but strikers may find it more difficult than in any other position. On the face of it, it's quicker to determine the worth of a forward than a midfielder, defender, or goalkeeper by looking at the barometer of how many goals they're scoring. Pass completions, distance covered in the 'press,' or even tackles were all common.

After losing their Premier League home to West Ham, Steven Gerrard says Aston Villa 'need results and fast'

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 28, 2022
Villa lost their first three Premier League games this season, and only three of their last 15 top-flight matches under the manager's reign began last November. Supporters made their case clear as the final whistle condemned their side to their new loss thanks to Pablo Fornals' only goal of the game in the 74th minute, and coach Gerrard acknowledged that supporters were 'deserve' to boo his players.

In a loss that would worry Steven Gerrard as the Hammers take first place, Pablo Fornals takes the final blow

ASTON VILLA 0-1 BEST HAM SAMI MOKBEL AT VILLA PARK: When you're in the ascendancy, you're winning, but the best teams do it. Villa couldn't afford to. In comparison, West Ham did not have such a large number of people. That's why the Hammers left the Midlands with all three points intact. Yes, the winner was fortuitous - Pablo Fornals' shot off Ezri Konsa with a spectacular deflection off the wall before looping over Emi Martinez. But who will remember that? David Moyes will undoubtedly care about his team's first goal of the season, as well as their first points. With those two monkeys on their back, West Ham is putting on a certain airlift as they go into their match against Tottenham on Wednesday. You can't say the same for Villa. The boos that echoed around Villa Park at full throttle told its own tale. The tunnel disconsolate, though Gerrard, the president, trudged back. After three losses in four Premier League games so far, the Liverpool legend is feeling the strain.
