Newcastle United 0 West Ham 3
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: St James' Park, Newcastle
Date: Saturday, December 1, 2018
Javier Hernandez brought Newcastle's Premier League recovery to a juddering halt as West Ham ran riot in a 3-0 win at St James' Park.
The Mexico international struck either side of half-time with Felipe Anderson adding a third at the death to end the Magpies' three-game winning streak in comprehensive fashion on an afternoon when the Hammers might have won even more handsomely if they had been more composed in front of goal.

Team news
Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez is still without defender Paul Dummett for the Magpies' Premier League clash with West Ham.
Dummett picked up a hamstring injury on international duty with Wales and is expected to be ruled out for a number of weeks.
Otherwise Benitez can pick from a fully-fit squad, with captain Jamaal Lascelles among those pushing for a return following a shoulder injury.
Provisional squad: Dubravka, Darlow, Yedlin, Lascelles, Manquillo, Fernandez, Schar, Hayden, Shelvey, Muto, Diame, Ki, Ritchie, Kenedy, Murphy, Atsu, Longstaff, Perez, Rondon, Joselu.
Marko Arnautovic will be fit for West Ham's trip to Newcastle. The striker limped off against Manchester City last weekend but he has recovered from the knock.
Andy Carroll and Jack Wilshere could also be involved following their respective ankle injuries, while Robert Snodgrass returns from suspension.
But Ryan Fredericks, Manuel Lanzini, Winston Reid, Carlos Sanchez and Andriy Yarmolenko are all sidelined.
Provisional squad: Fabianski, Cresswell, Balbuena, Zabaleta, Diop, Anderson, Obiang, Rice, Noble, Diangana, Coventry, Snodgrass, Arnautovic, Adrian, Ogbonna, Wilshere, Masuaku, Antonio, Hernandez, Carroll, Perez.
