As we saw with Southampton yesterday if the players aren't good enough you shouldn't do it. West Ham's aren't good enough. Odin Why are West Ham continually trying to play it out from the back all the time when it's clearly giving them problems? Alan Quick check, can we call West Ham relegation-threatened?

Thomas Soucek's early header is the difference. Newcastle 0-1 West Ham Jarrod Bowen volleys one from range and does well to get it on target, but Nick Pope easily collects. Newcastle 0-1 West Ham I think West Ham fans will tell you that he's pretty adored by them too to be fair, Craig. But I do see your point. Newcastle have that kind of player in Anthony Gordon and their fans love him. #bbcfootball, Whats App on 03301231826 or text 81111 (UK only, standard message rates apply) If ever there was a player made for a club and set of fans, then surely it's Jarred Bowen and Newcastle. His dribbling, close control and willingness to run with the ball would be adored by the Geordies. Craig in Norwich Newcastle 0-1 West Ham Three minutes added on. Newcastle 0-1 West Ham Feels like West Ham could do with half-time. A few more minutes to navigate. Newcastle 0-1 West Ham Newcastle win a corner. Before it's taken Craig Pawson tells off Alexander Isak for blocking Lukasz Fabianski. The cross then comes in and Fabianski, uncontested, easily punches away. Newcastle 0-1 West Ham Chris Coles BBC Radio 5 Live commentator West Ham have played well so far, but Newcastle are beginning to build more threatening attacks. It's a good lively watch this. Newcastle 0-1 West Ham Andy Hinchcliffe Former Man City and Everton defender on Sky Sports Guimaraes' work is absolutely outstanding to win the ball and then the vision. The first touch is good from Isak but then he is falling away and it's a hard chance and even he can't get it on target. Newcastle 0-1 West Ham It's looking like a big if right now. Newcastle are having their best spell as Anthony Gordon heads over. #bbcfootball, Whats App on 03301231826 or text 81111 (UK only, standard message rates apply) I can’t believe this, but if WHU pick up all three points tonight, they are only one set of favourable results away from being in contention again, such is the congestion vying for the European consolation places. Jake, Kent Newcastle 0-1 West Ham Has to score! Bruno Guimaraes chips a lovely ball to Alexander Isak who chests his cross down, unmarked, but then volleys narrowly wide. Newcastle 0-1 West Ham So far, Newcastle are staying calm. West Ham get back on the ball but Jarrod Bowen blasts one well over. #bbcfootball, Whats App on 03301231826 or text 81111 (UK only, standard message rates apply) The longer it stays like this, the more frustrated Newcastle players and fans will become. Given how poor the West Ham defence is, frustration is wholly justified. Killeavy, Nottingham Newcastle 0-1 West Ham Anthony Gordon should be scoring! It's really poor defending from Jean-Clair Todibo who fails to clear a nothing cross, almost laying the ball off for Gordon. But the England winger's shot from inside the box is straight at Hammers keeper Lukasz Fabianski who saves with his leg. Newcastle 0-1 West Ham Andy Hinchcliffe Former Man City and Everton defender on Sky Sports Really positive play from Lewis Hall, driving forward and having a strike at goal. Tomas Soucek scored his third goal of the season for West Ham Tomas Soucek and Aaron Wan-Bissaka scored as West Ham secured an impressive win at Newcastle to ease the pressure on manager Julen Lopetegui. The Spanish coach replaced David Moyes in the summer but had endured a difficult start with just three wins from the Hammers' first 11 games. But this eye-catching result will go a long way to providing hope to the club's supporters that he is capable of turning things around. Newcastle were the better side for large periods but fell behind when Soucek headed home from a corner in the first half. Anthony Gordon should have equalised when he was gifted a shooting chance by a poor clearance from Jean-Clair Todibo, but fired straight at Lukasz Fabianski. Alexander Isak also had a great opportunity to score just before the break when he was picked out unmarked inside the box by Bruno Guimaraes’ excellent ball, but he thundered his shot wide. The visitors soaked up the pressure and got the crucial second eight minutes into the second half when Wan-Bissaka drove a shot in off the far post for his first West Ham goal. The Hammers finished strongly to comfortably see out a win that moves them six points clear of the relegation zone. They are 14th and now just three points off the top 10. Newcastle, meanwhile, are 10th and four points off the top four. More to follow. Have your say on Newcastle’s performance Have your say on West Ham’s performance Rate players out of 10 for this game.

West Ham haven’t kept a clean sheet in any of their last 10 Premier League games against Newcastle, though they’ve only failed to score themselves in one of the last 13, with both teams finding the net in each of the last seven meetings between them. Newcastle have won their last two Premier League games, and are looking to win three in a row for the first time since September 2023 – this is the sixth occasion since that they have won twice in a row in the league. West Ham have kept just two clean sheets in their last 28 Premier League away games, conceding 66 goals (2. 4 per game). Indeed, in 2024, they have conceded more away goals in the top-flight (35) than any side. Along with Liverpool, Newcastle are one of two clubs yet to drop a single point from a winning position in the Premier League this season. The Magpies have won each of the last 10 matches in which they have led at any point in the Premier League, their longest such run since winning 11 in a row from February to August 2006. West Ham have failed to score in their last two league games, as many as their previous 14 beforehand. Only once since the start of last season have they gone three league matches without a goal, doing so in February. Newcastle have used fewer players (19) than any other side in the Premier League this season, while only Crystal Palace (4) have seen fewer players score for them (excl. own goals) in the division this term than the Magpies (5). Newcastle’s Alexander Isak has scored in all three of his Premier League games against West Ham, netting a brace in both meetings with the Hammers last term. No Newcastle player has scored multiple goals in three consecutive Premier League meetings with an opponent before, while no player has ever done so against West Ham either. Only Jørgen Strand Larsen (16) has made more hold-ups while retaining possession in the Premier League this season than West Ham’s Michail Antonio (15). Antonio is retaining possession with 71% of his hold-ups in the competition this term (15/21), the highest ratio of any player to attempt 10+. Only against Aston Villa (9) has Newcastle’s Harvey Barnes been directly involved in more Premier League goals than he has against West Ham (8 – 6 goals, 2 assists). He’s either scored or assisted in each of his last four against the Hammers (4 goals, 1 assist), finding the net in each of the last three. © 2024 BBC.
