West Ham scored from a corner for the first time this year (Soucek forward) and Wan-Bissaka scored for almost four years. How can he not beat Newcastle away from home 2-0?
Great pace in the first half as Newcastle threatened first with a goal from Issac that he didn’t quite count (5′) as a goal.
From then on, the home team did everything they could to equalize the game. They threatened with Longstaff (29′), Hall (34′), Isaac (39′) but they were all off target and Gordon Fabianski (36′) failed to hit in the biggest chance.
For the second time this year, West Ham went into the dressing room leading at half-time.
West Ham found a second goal and Wan Bishaka scored after almost four years to make it 0-2 (53′) and from then on, the hosts were not enough to threaten Fabianski.
An important win for West Ham.
