West Ham were beaten 3-2 by Newcastle at London Stadium, a team that had scored just six Premier League goals all season and had not scored more than one goal in a game all season.

The scoreline flattered the home side greatly as they were truly dreadful throughout. Newcastle however more than merited their three points to take back to the north east after running the home defence ragged.

The visitors were 2-0 up at half time thanks to a pair of headers. The first from Ciaran Clark who powered home from close range after Joelinton's centre, then Federico Fernandez doubled it.

West Ham keeper Roberto made big errors for the Toon's second and third goals, rushing out into no-man's land allowing Fernandez and easy finish.

In the second half, Jonjo Shelvey's nearpost free kick was reached by the Spanish keeper and he got two hands to the ball but couldn't keep the ball out and it bobbled into the back of the net.

The hosts did pull a goal back which they scarcely deserved with 15 minutes to go when Fabian Balbuena bundled home Robert Snodgrass's corner at the back post. The Scotsman then set up a grandstand finish by volleying home to make it 3-2 with five minutes of injury time to go.

Manuel Pellegrini named an unchanged lineup to the surprise of pretty much everyone and it backfired and the manager is now coming under big scrutiny after his side made it five games without a win in the Premier League.
