Newcastle has now won four games in a row and is third in the table, level on points with fourth-placed Manchester United. West Ham, meanwhile, remains in 15th place, just three places above the relegation zone on goal difference. The game started with an elaborate light show, and West Ham almost scored within the first minute when Bruno Guimaraes hit the post. However, Newcastle took the lead four minutes later, and Joelinton doubled the lead on the 12th minute.
West Ham scored just before half-time, but Newcastle scored twice in the second half to seal the win. West Ham made seven substitutions, but they could not change the game's momentum, and some fans left early. Newcastle's Isak and Joelinton added two more goals in the final 10 minutes to secure a convincing victory. West Ham's poor defending was the main reason for their defeat, while Newcastle showed ruthlessness in attack. West Ham will now face Fulham on Saturday, while Newcastle will travel to Brentford, where they are yet to lose a league game this season.
