West Ham 1-5 Newcastle United: Wilson, Joelinton score brace to thump Hammers
West Ham’s complacency caught up with them as they suffered a 5-1 defeat to Newcastle United at the London Stadium. The visitors were dominant throughout the match, taking advantage of poor defending from West Ham to score five goals, with Callum Wilson scoring twice, Joelinton scoring twice and Alexander Isak adding one. In contrast, West Ham were toothless in attack and lacked focus at the back, with manager David Moyes unable to inspire a comeback.
The defeat was a humbling experience for West Ham, who had been hoping to build on their recent form and push for a place in Europe. However, their complacency and lack of action to address their issues have left them languishing in mid-table. Moyes will now be under intense pressure to turn things around quickly or face the prospect of losing his job.
Newcastle United’s Impressive Form Under Eddie Howe
On the other hand, Newcastle United, under the guidance of Eddie Howe, continued their impressive form, securing their fourth consecutive win. Their performance was a testament to their resilience and focus, with their well-organized defence and clinical attack proving too much for West Ham to handle.
The win also strengthens Newcastle’s position in the race for the Champions League, a remarkable turnaround from their position earlier in the season. Howe was pleased with his team’s performance but stressed the importance of remaining focused and taking things one game at a time.
Moyes Under Intense Pressure to Turn Things Around
For West Ham, their focus now turns to their upcoming matches, where they will be hoping to bounce back from this humiliating defeat. However, they will need to address their issues quickly and take action if they are to avoid being dragged into a relegation battle. Moyes will be hoping for a response from his players, but the pressure is mounting, and time is running out for him to turn things around.
