I have a LINQ query, which for some reason is generating an extra/duplicatre INNER JOIN. This is causing the query to not return the expected output. If I manually comment that extra JOIN from the generated SQL, then I get seemingly correct output.

Can you detect what I might have done i nthis LINQ to have cuased this extra JOIN?

Thanks.

Here is my approx LINQ

var ids = context.Code.Where(predicate); 
            var rs = from r in ids 
                     group r by new { r.phonenumbers.person.PersonID} into g 
                     let matchcount=g.Select(p => p.phonenumbers.PhoneNum).Distinct().Count() 
                     where matchcount ==2 
                     select new 
                  { 
                      personid = g.Key 
                  };

and here is the generated SQL (the duplicate join is [t7])

Declare @p1 VarChar(10)='Home'
Declare @p2 VarChar(10)='111'
Declare @p3 VarChar(10)='Office'
Declare @p4 VarChar(10)='222'
Declare @p5 int=2
