Liverpool 0-3 West Ham: Coutinho sent off in shock defeat

Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho saw red as Brendan Rodgers side fell to a 3-0 defeat to West Ham United.


The Reds suffered their first defeat of the season as first half goals from Manuel Lanzini and Mark Noble gave the Hammers a half-time lead. 

The Anfield side came close to pinching a first-half goal as Roberto Firmino struck the woodwork, but could not present a constant offensive challenge to Slaven Bilic's side.

Diafra Sakho wrapped up the win in second half stoppage time, following a red card apiece as Coutinho was dismissed for a second bookable offence on 52 minutes and West Ham captain Noble saw red after 78 minutes.

By Chimaobi Jose Nzoromobi  Warri billionaire businessman and All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Chief Ayiri Emami, has revealed he advised former Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President, Amaju Pinnick, not to locate the FIFA Forward Project stadium in Ugborodo, Delta State. In a video currently trending on social media, Chief Emami said his advice was based purely on practical and economic reasons that could have affected the timely and cost-effective completion of the project. He noted that the logistical challenges and high cost of transporting construction materials and equipment to Ugborodo made it less suitable for such project given the amount available. According to him, he recommended Ode-Itsekiri as a more viable and accessible alternative, considering its proximity to Warri, which would ease the movement of materials and personnel. Chief Emami stressed that his position was guided by developmental reasoning and the need to ensure the project’s success, rathe...
