Converting SQL query into LINQ - not working

Question

The SQL query I'm trying to convert is:

select p.PhoneNumber_Id, p.State, p.Created
from PhoneNumberServiceItems p
join PhoneNumbers on p.PhoneNumber_Id = PhoneNumbers.Id
inner join (
    select PhoneNumber_Id, max(Created) as MaxDate
    from PhoneNumberServiceItems
    group by PhoneNumber_Id
) tm on p.PhoneNumber_Id = tm.PhoneNumber_Id and p.Created = tm.MaxDate
where PhoneNumbers.NumberRangeId = {Id}

And the LINQ code I've ended up with is below, however this isn't working:

 var res =
        from serviceItems in _db.PhoneNumberServiceItems
        join nums in _db.PhoneNumbers on serviceItems.PhoneNumber_Id equals nums.Id
        where nums.NumberRangeId == id
        join serviceGroup in (from ps in _db.PhoneNumberServiceItems
                      group ps by ps.PhoneNumber_Id into numGroup

                      //join tm in _db.PhoneNumbers on psg.FirstOrDefault().PhoneNumber_Id equals tm.Id
                      select new
                      {
                          NumId = numGroup.FirstOrDefault().PhoneNumber_Id,
                          MaxDate = numGroup.Max(i => i.Created)
                      }) on new { PNId = serviceItems.PhoneNumber_Id, serviceCreated = serviceItems.Created } equals new { PNId = serviceGroup.NumId, serviceCreated = serviceGroup.MaxDate }
        select new
        {
            State = serviceItems.State,
            NumId = serviceGroup.NumId,
            Created = serviceGroup.MaxDate
        };

I'm aware my LINQ is wrong, but I can't put my finger on what it is I'm doing differently. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: This is the compiled SQL generated from the LINQ

SELECT 
[Extent1].[State] AS [State], 
[Project4].[C1] AS [C1], 
[Project4].[C2] AS [C2]
FROM   [dbo].[PhoneNumberServiceItems] AS [Extent1]
INNER JOIN [dbo].[PhoneNumbers] AS [Extent2] ON [Extent1].[PhoneNumber_Id] = [Extent2].[Id]
INNER JOIN  (SELECT 
    [Project3].[C1] AS [C1], 
    (SELECT 
        MAX([Extent5].[Created]) AS [A1]
        FROM [dbo].[PhoneNumberServiceItems] AS [Extent5]
        WHERE [Project3].[PhoneNumber_Id] = [Extent5].[PhoneNumber_Id]) AS [C2]
    FROM ( SELECT 
        [Distinct1].[PhoneNumber_Id] AS [PhoneNumber_Id], 
        (SELECT TOP (1) 
            [Extent4].[PhoneNumber_Id] AS [PhoneNumber_Id]
            FROM [dbo].[PhoneNumberServiceItems] AS [Extent4]
            WHERE [Distinct1].[PhoneNumber_Id] = [Extent4].[PhoneNumber_Id]) AS [C1]
        FROM ( SELECT DISTINCT 
            [Extent3].[PhoneNumber_Id] AS [PhoneNumber_Id]
            FROM [dbo].[PhoneNumberServiceItems] AS [Extent3]
        )  AS [Distinct1]
    )  AS [Project3] ) AS [Project4] ON ([Extent1].[PhoneNumber_Id] = [Project4].[C1]) AND ([Extent1].[Created] = [Project4].[C2])
WHERE [Extent2].[NumberRangeId] = {id}

This is linq equivalent of your query.

var res = from s in PhoneNumberServiceItems
          join p in PhoneNumbers on s.PhoneNumber_Id equals p.Id
          join tm in ( from p1 in PhoneNumberServiceItems 
                       group p1 by p1.PhoneNumber_Id into p_g 
                       select new {PhoneNumber_Id = p_g.Key,MaxDate = p_g.Max(i=> i.Created)  }  )
                    on new {Created = s.Created, PhoneNumber_Id = s.PhoneNumber_Id} 
                         equals new { Created = tm.MaxDate, PhoneNumber_Id = tm.PhoneNumber_Id} 
            where p.NumberRangeId == {Id}
            select new
                    {
                        s.PhoneNumber_Id,
                        s.State,
                        s.Created
                    };
