"West Ham got a much-needed victory for the first time under Nuno Espirito Santo by beating Newcastle 3-1. The Hammers looked to be in for a long afternoon when Jacob Murphy opened the scoring after four minutes but Lucas Paqueta and a Sven Botman own goal in the first half but the hosts in front before Tomas Soucek rounded off the victory in stoppage time."
"West Ham almost made the perfect start when Jarrod Bowen rattled the post from long range but a matter of seconds later, it was the away team who were celebrating when Murphy found the bottom corner. The Magpies winger was allowed far too much space as turned Malick Diouf inside and out before arrowing an effort into the bottom left corner."
"Despite the goal, Nuno would have been encouraged by the start his side made and they thought they had the perfect chance to equalise when referee Robert Jones pointed to the spot after Bowen was brought down in the box by Malick Thiaw. But after an on-pitch review, Jones rescinded the decision to award a spot-kick after correctly deciding Thiaw touched the ball when bringing the West Ham captain down."
West Ham beat Newcastle 3-1, ending a long home winless run and registering their first victory under Nuno Espirito Santo.

A Sven Botman own goal from Aaron Wan-Bissaka's cross put West Ham ahead at half-time. Tomas Soucek sealed the win in stoppage time. A penalty decision for West Ham was overturned after an on-pitch review showed Malick Thiaw touched the ball. The result lifted West Ham above Nottingham Forest into 18th, three points from safety.
