Newcastle Return To Winning Ways With Narrow 1-0 Victory Over West Ham In East London

Newcastle United returned to winning ways with a narrow 1-0 victory over West Ham in the Premier League on Monday evening, and you can find the full match highlights below.

Guimaraes Strikes In Second Half To Seal Magpies Victory

West Ham headed into Gameweek 28 looking to extend their winning run to three straight matches, while Newcastle looked to bring an end to their two-game winless run but were forced to do so without Anthony Gordon and Lewis Hall.

Gordon is currently serving a three-match suspension, which rules him out of Sunday’s Carabao Cup final against Liverpool, while youngster Hall has been ruled out for the remainder of the campaign with a foot injury.

Tomas Soucek, who scored in the win over Leicester last time out, could’ve and probably should’ve put the hosts in front after less than a minute, as he skied his close-range effort after some nice work from Mohammed Kudus.

Harvey Barnes had the better of the opportunities for the visitors, going close on two occasions, but he couldn’t convert beyond Alphonse Areola, and the pair headed into the half time break goalless.

Newcastle, who were favoured by the UK’s best football betting sites ahead of the match, found an opener after 63 minutes courtesy of Brazil international Bruno Guimaraes, assisted by Barnes.

Graham Potter’s side were unable to muster up a response, marking an end to their winning run in the league.

With the result, the Hammers remain in 16th place in the English top-flight table, 10 points clear of Wolves and 16 points clear of Ipswich and Leicester in the relegation zone, while the Magpies are in sixth, two points adrift of the top four.
