Newcastle 3-2 West Ham
by Harry De Cosemo

NEWCASTLE UNITED took another giant stride towards Premier League survival while denting 10-man West Ham United’s unlikely Champions League hopes with a 3-2 victory at St James’ Park.

The result hardly told the story as the Hammers clawed themselves level from 2-0 down after Craig Dawson’s red card, before Joe Willock came off the bench and clinched victory with a superb header.

It was the second time Willock had made such an impact in as many home games, and Bruce has admitted he would like to make the midfielder’s loan move from Arsenal permanent in the summer.
