"West Ham's 3-1 defeat at Newcastle left Tottenham realistically only needing one more point to win the battle for Premier League survival, while Bruno Fernandes made history in Manchester United's 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest on Sunday. Spurs can avoid dropping out of the English top flight for the first time in nearly 50 years with victory at Chelsea on Tuesday, but a draw would also likely suffice thanks to their much superior goal difference over West Ham."
"A third consecutive defeat left the Hammers needing favours and they were well beaten at St. James' Park against a Newcastle side who had little to play for. Nick Woltemade turned in Harvey Barnes' cross for his first league goal since December. William Osula then finished off a flowing Newcastle move to double the lead inside 20 minutes. Osula struck again with his fifth goal in six games and even a stunning strike from Taty Castellanos was little consolation for the visitors."
"The Portuguese international moved alongside Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne in the single-season assist list when his cross was turned in by Bryan Mbeumo for United's third goal at Old Trafford. Luke Shaw volleyed United in front after just five minutes, but Forest levelled a wide open encounter early in the second half when Elliot Anderson's cross was headed in by Morato. United raced down the other end and Matheus Cunha's goal was allowed to stand despite a VAR check for handball."
"West Ham's only hope of survival is if they beat Leeds on the final day and Tottenham lose to both Chelsea and Everton. Taty Castellanos of West Ham United looks dejected after the team's defeat in the Premier League match between Newcastle United and West Ham United."
West Ham’s 3-1 defeat at Newcastle left Tottenham needing only one more point to win the Premier League survival battle. Spurs can avoid relegation for the first time in nearly 50 years by beating Chelsea on Tuesday, and a draw would likely be enough due to a superior goal difference over West Ham. West Ham suffered a third consecutive loss and were well beaten at St. James’ Park by a Newcastle side with little to play for. Nick Woltemade scored from Harvey Barnes’ cross, and William Osula doubled the lead within 20 minutes. Osula added another goal, and Taty Castellanos’ strike provided limited consolation. Manchester United beat Nottingham Forest 3-2, with Bruno Fernandes equalling the Premier League record of 20 assists in a season. Luke Shaw scored early, Forest equalized after halftime, and VAR allowed Matheus Cunha’s goal to stand.
