 Yeah, we start things off with football on the sportsmax zone West Ham had a chance to create more history as they travel to Germany to take on Freiburg the London team aiming to go on beaten for the 17th consecutive European game a feat Which would you serve the 16 which leads and Tottenham Hotspur shear? Let's see the highlights Jared bow Having a run at line hard getting the cross in a West Hammer in front Bowen here with line hard for company, but look at Lucas pocketa in the middle Absolutely dominating Ginter in the air. It's a fantastic header Ritsu do it. That's a good ball really good ball super save double save, but Salah equalizes Lovely ball from Ritsu do and here. That's what really caused West Hammer problem Great save from Fabianski great double save from Fabianski, but nothing you could do about the third effort And Salah hacking the space again goalkeeper came Again got in front of him and the net because the goalkeeper had come was empty in off the bar Freiburg one West Ham two Yes, so West Ham taking control of group A in the Europa League with a big result today that Mariah and Ricardo they had to fight for yeah, very very important that they fought for today's win because we saw there West Ham had the lead it looked a bit comfortable then Freiburg came from behind they ensured that they equalized West Ham, of course, it took some time for them to get that winning goal But what I will say is West Ham seems to be really enjoying themselves in the Europa League I love what David Moyes has been doing with this squad and we continue to monitor them because they're building a Lance and Ricardo from strength to strength They had no Miquel Antonio today, but that was no problem because of course the rest of the team They gel together. I saw some chemistry coming within the team in the second half They looked a bit more comfortable So it's a team that you know their confidence is building match after match and if they continue along this path Then they'll be a force to be reckoned with yeah impressive record Lance and Mariah by any stretch of the imagination to Go 17 matches on beaten at any level. I know some would say that a Number of those matches would have come in the Europa Conference League last season And that has built over into the Europa League this season But still incredible that you that a team could go all of 17 matches Without tasting defeat in Europe where the football is is quite competitive And I think today was a tremendous reflection of what we've seen from this West Ham team in Europe that they have shown a lot of character a lot of fighting spirit they have been able to shrug off some Difficult situations and some tough teams and they were able to deliver on that today again Against the Freiburg team that without a doubt you would think would be the toughest challenge in this group And I just want to add James award-prouse in the post match interview He reiterated the fact the point that I was making that it wasn't one of their best games It was actually one of their toughest matches against Freiburg They really had to fight but he went on to say you know We now have six points from two games and that's of course a very good start So he's recognizing that it was not an easy win It was not a walk in the park, but they're happy for the results and they're going to improve moving forward and happy of course as well for David Moyes who is doing a good job with West Ham his Stripes sort of taking some blows with his Bad run at Manchester United, but he is a quality coach. We know that and he's showing it now Yeah, he's definitely showing it and he has a number of players who keep coming up really good for him as Mariah pointed out That there was no Mikhail Antonio up front for them today. He's out injured Hopefully not just from a West Ham standpoint, but from a reggae boy standpoint that he will be well soon and ready to play again But Jared Bowen has been having an outstanding season and I know he didn't score today But provided the cross a four-pointer to finish the opening goal for West Ham And Jared Bowen has done so well for this West Ham team and I think so often His contributions can go unnoticed, but already this season both in Europe and in the Premier League He's been impactful. He's had a number of assists. He's been scoring for them as well And again today he had another quality game and his cross was a was a solid cross because he was he was under pressure on the Right flank and I didn't have a lot of room to get a good cross in but his cross was excellent And the Pequetto was was was brilliant with a finish as well So to want to West Ham as we said taking control of group a in the Europa League Let's move on now to Liverpool They had an opportunity to get a bad taste out of their mouths from their result against Tottenham on Sunday in the EPL they took on Royal Union SG. Let's see how that one went Turned back to Alexander-Arnold. He's gonna have a shot and Maurice filled it And that's where it started with an Allison Quick play out to Alexander-Arnold and here they came on the counter Good luck at Montbreak down there Nunez not playing Timikas in Alexander-Arnold well as he hit it he must have thought ah Over the walls the back out listen boys lost it and quencers managed to steer it away Alexander-Arnold here's Elliott Lexus McKellister with the lift and Maury with the save to keep out Jota Gomez has lost it. Here's Amora Puertes, Mohamed Amora, Nielsen waits in the middle Amora might go it alone There's a vital deflection on that from Canate to take it behind Canate No flag here. No offside and Luis Diaz goes through and misses his Elliott And his effort is blocked By Machida Diaz again that was blocked by his own teammate Jota change of mind Castro Montes had the angle to cross and it's over the head of Gomez and he gets lucky Because it bounced off La Poussana wasn't quite ready for it and now Liverpool break Luis Diaz though has lost his balance Jota takes over And Jota seals it It was always on the cards as Union cast players forward But look how lucky Liverpool got Gomez and misread it if that had stuck with La Poussana He had the chance to put it in for 1-1 instead of matter of seconds later The ball breaks off Noah Siddiqui To the Ogo Jota nothing Siddiqui could do about it And Maldi was not keeping that out Yeah, the victory sealed in stoppage time for Liverpool Royal Union SG current leaders in Belgium at the moment in their domestic league So not a bad team and gave Liverpool a pretty good run And the English team had had to you know work work for the victory on the three points Yeah, really happy to see the summer signing Ryan Gravenbridge as I said at the top of the show Getting on the score sheet for Liverpool because I feel like for quite some time They've struggled where goal scoring is concerned So it's happy to see somebody that we didn't expect to be on the score sheet Getting his name there. So that's one thing to be happy about a Diego Jota Of course in the second half getting that goal for Liverpool as well two things for Liverpool After what they had to deal with Va on the weekend two things for them to smile about now Liverpool are to take the confidence from today's match not as if they were playing against a massive team though But it's you know a positive result from them. They've had two matches. They've walked away with six points So something to try and at least put their hands on a trophy. Let's see Yeah, I know a few Liverpool fans who would not be totally happy that Trent Alexander Arnold is back I think Jurgen Klopp would be quite pleased that he is back though played 16 minutes in the game against Tottenham That's the EPL game at the weekend and played 63 minutes in this game today Of course, he had the shot that led to the opening goal for Liverpool I don't think it counts as an assist Normally if you play fantasy football though, it would go down as an assist So those who have Trent in their fantasy teams will be quite pleased to see that he is back out there and Fit again after missing a few weeks with a hamstring injury. Yeah, and on a cricket heavy Sportsmax zone today. We can say good afternoon as well to one of the biggest Liverpool fans I know IVA Richards. Yeah, sir Isaac Vivian Alexander. So he has a reason to smile today And I will be talking a little bit Lansund Mariah about IVA Richards in our West Indies women's cricket segment That's coming up next. I can't wait to hear what Ricardo has to say. Well, let's take a break and we'll be right back
