West Ham plan to provide Lucas Paquetá with psychological support following his red card for dissent in Sunday’s defeat to Liverpool. While the club is unhappy with his behaviour—two yellows for dissent in seconds—they also recognise the emotional toll of the FA’s two-year spot-fixing investigation, which cleared him only in July. Figures at the club believe Paquetá has been left “bitter and let down” by the ordeal and that the pressure contributed to his outburst. He later apologised but criticised football authorities on social media for offering no mental-health support during the investigation. Paquetá will miss Thursday’s trip to Manchester…

Liverpool ended a miserable run of six defeats in seven league games with a hard-fought win at West Ham, in a match that offered relief rather than entertainment. Alexander Isak finally scored his first league goal for the club since his high-profile move from Newcastle, before Cody Gakpo added a late second. The first half was lifeless, with neither side offering much threat. An important subplot emerged before kick-off, as Mohamed Salah was dropped following Liverpool’s defensive collapse in recent games. Arne Slot reverted to a 4-2-3-1 shape, with Dominik Szoboszlai deployed on the right to offer more defensive protection…
