Overview
- Jacob Murphy struck early before a VAR review overturned a West Ham penalty, with Lucas Paquetá equalising, Sven Botman diverting into his own net, and Tomáš Souček sealing it in stoppage time.
- The victory was Nuno Espírito Santo’s first since taking over in late September after collecting only one point from his first four league games.
- Newcastle’s away run without a league win stretched to eight matches as Eddie Howe called the performance “really disappointing.”
- West Ham secured their first Premier League home win since February 27, snapping a nine‑match barren run at the London Stadium.
- Supporter unrest continued, with a planned post‑match sit‑in keeping many fans in their seats to protest the club’s ownership.
