All the pressure is on Newcastle to get back into this but they are playing this second half without Anthony Gordon and Nick Woltemade. West Ham 2-1 Newcastle Clinton Morrison Former Premier League striker on BBC Radio 5 Live at London Stadium I'm surprised about Nick Woltemade [going off]. He has had no service, but Eddie Howe knows better than us. Newcastle are going to dominate and West Ham are going to play on the counter-attack.

Back under way. HT: West Ham 2-1 Newcastle Clinton Morrison Former Premier League striker on BBC Radio 5 Live at London Stadium Lucas Paqueta has been good. Sometimes I think he overdoes it, but I think he has his mojo back. Last time I have seen him perform like that was at Nottingham Forest away. We know he's a serious talent, but we don't see it often enough.

Sven Botman sticks a foot out and he wrong foots Nick Pope. West Ham 2-1 Newcastle Chris Sutton Former Premier League striker on Sky Sports West Ham, at the start of the game - everything seemed to go against them. [Sven] Botman is unlucky. [Aaron] Wan-Bissaka is just trying to put it into an area and [Nick] Pope can't recover. You've got to say - West Ham deserve the lead. HT: West Ham 2-1 Newcastle Ciaran Kelly BBC Sport reporter at the London Stadium West Ham players rightly leave the field to loud cheers at half-time. The atmosphere in the London Stadium has completely shifted. What a response from the hosts. But Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe will be furious. After taking such an early lead, his side should never have been in this position at the break. It might not be long before he turns to his bench at this rate. HT West Ham 2-1 Newcastle West Ham are showing bags of character. This has been a gritty, sleeves-rolled-up type of performance. One Nuno Espirito Santo has been craving ever since he took charge.

West Ham 2-1 Newcastle Half-time has been greeted by a chorus of boos at London Stadium this season. Not today! The Hammers have the lead. Sven Botman (own goal) Would you believe it! Nuno Espirito Santo has not had much to smile about since taking over but the West Ham boss is beaming after Sven Botman inadvertantly slices Aaron Wan-Bissaka's ball into the box past his own goalkeeper. This first half has had everything! West Ham 1-1 Newcastle Now Crysencio Summerville forces Nick Pope into a save after lovely build-up. Five of Lucas Paqueta's 15 Premier League goals for West Ham have been from outside of the penalty area At a glance Jacob Murphy opens scoring for Newcastle West Ham denied penalty following VAR review Lucas Paqueta equalises with effort from outside box Newcastle defender Sven Botman scores own goal Substitute Tomas Soucek adds third in stoppage time Spirited West Ham came from behind to record their first home win of the season against Newcastle United at the London Stadium. Jacob Murphy had given Newcastle the lead with an effort from the edge of the area in the opening stages - just seconds after West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen hit the post at the other end. But West Ham rallied and the hosts' eventually got their rewards when Lucas Paqueta lashed home an equaliser from outside the box. West Ham then took the lead just before half-time when the sliding Sven Botman turned Aaron Wan-Bissaka's cross into his own net. Nuno Espirito Santo's team went on to score a third in stoppage time when substitute Tomas Soucek tapped in the rebound after Pope had denied Bowen. It was the least West Ham deserved following a committed display by the hosts, who earlier had a penalty award overturned after a video assistant referee (VAR) review. Referee Robert Jones changed his mind after consulting his pitchside monitor, with the television footage showing Newcastle defender Malick Thiaw touching the ball before making contact with Bowen inside the area. But not only did West Ham go on to find a way back into the game - they won it. The Hammers remain in the relegation zone but are now three points behind 17th-placed Burnley following a first league win under Nuno since he took charge in September. Newcastle, meanwhile, have not triumphed on the road in the Premier League in seven months. More to follow. Have your say on West Ham's performance What did you make of Newcastle's display?

Manager: Nuno Espírito Santo Formation: 4 - 5 - 1 Manager: Eddie Howe Formation: 4 - 3 - 3 Manager: Nuno Espírito Santo Formation: 4 - 5 - 1 Manager: Eddie Howe Formation: 4 - 3 - 3 Premier League All competitions All competitions All competitions West Ham have won just two of their last 12 Premier League games against Newcastle (D4 L6), with both of these victories coming away from home (August 2021, November 2024). Newcastle have lost just one of their eight Premier League away games at the London Stadium against West Ham (W5 D2), and are unbeaten in their last six visits (W4 D2). West Ham United have made their worst start to a Premier League season after nine matches (4 points), with 2006-07 their previous worst (5 points). The Hammers have never previously suffered as many as eight defeats in their opening 10 games of a league season. Newcastle United are winless in their last seven away Premier League matches (D4 L3), failing to score in four of those games. They last had a longer away winless run between August and December 2021 (9 games). West Ham have conceded the most goals in the Premier League this season (20) and have faced the second most shots (133) and have the second worst expected goals against total (15. 2). It’s the earliest into a league season the Hammers have conceded 20 goals since 1967-68 (21 in eight games). Seven of Newcastle United’s last 13 Premier League goals have been scored in the final 15 minutes of matches, with only one of their previous 34 beforehand scored in the 76th minute or after. Bruno Guimarães’ 90th minute winner against Fulham on MD9 was their latest winning goal since March 2024 (Harvey Barnes vs West Ham). Nuno Espírito Santo has lost three of his first four Premier League games as West Ham boss, losing the last three in a row. It’s his sixth run of three defeats in a row as a Premier League manager (including across clubs) but he has never previously lost four consecutively.

He’s also won his last three against Nuno Espírito Santo, with those games producing 16 goals (5. 3 on average per game). Bruno Guimarães has three Premier League goals in eight games in 2025-26 for Newcastle, only two fewer than he managed in 38 games last season (5). He’s ended on the winning side in 19 of the 21 matches he’s scored in (90. 5%), the sixth-best ratio of any player to score in 20+ games in Premier League history. This could be West Ham striker Callum Wilson’s first ever Premier League appearance against one of his former clubs – he’s played 75 games since 2022-23 for Newcastle and West Ham, but never faced Bournemouth. The only player to have played for three or more clubs and made more appearances than Wilson (245) without facing a former side in Premier League history is Neil Sullivan (247). Copyright © 2025 BBC.
