Newcastle made a dream start at St James Park but were pegged back and then held back as West Ham earned a deserved point this evening. Callum Wilson put his team in front after three minutes, shortly after Joe Willock had a goal disallowed for the hosts, and the Hammers recovered to level just past the half hour mark through Lucas Paqueta.
Newcastle dominated the second half but could find no way through West Ham's defence as they drew for the fourth time in five Premier League matches to extend their unbeaten league run to 16. Wilson had a glorious chance to win but his free header but fluffed his lines late on
Newcastle are on 40 points from 21 games, two points behind Manchester United who beat Crystal Palace earlier in the day. West Ham are on 19 points from 21 games, one point above the relegation zone. Read the game back below with our dedicated match blog.
