Great response by the hammers, antonio beats the newcastle offside trap and scores. Its 1-1.

[Ketchup2023]

Ooh, guimaraes didn't hold back with that challenge on his fellow international teammate paqueta. He stood on his instep. Paqueta down but seems to be able to play on.

[Ketchup2023]

That was close by gordon but his header goes wide. Its a fairly open game.

[Ketchup2023]

Great clearance by mavropanous, he done well there. Ten mins injury time. The var check for the peno did take a good while .

[Ketchup2023]

Guimaraes hits the bar then kudus has a chance at the other end. Was he fouled? Maybe not, i'd like to see it again though.

[Ketchup2023]

Now kudus takes his chance and scores. West ham lead 2-1. Newcastle were caught out with a quick free kick.

[Ketchup2023]

Well that was an eventful half, plenty of talking points. 2-1 to the hammers at ht.

[Ketchup2023]

Fabianski on for the 2nd half. Areola must be injured.

[Ketchup2023]

Super start to the 2nd half for the hammers. Jarod bowen makes it 3-1. And it all came from a newcastle corner, good break out by kudus and he finds bowen with a clear run on goal from the halfway line.

[Ketchup2023]

Great chance for longstaff but he gets it all wrong and puts it wide. Now almiron is down injured and has to go off. How many minutes was he on? The injury jinks continues.
