The goals: Souček (10th) and Wan-Bissaka (59th) for the Hammers.
Western Ham is a must at Nouveau Château.
The twelfth day of the Premier League ended this Monday with West Ham's victory at St James' Park against Newcastle (0-2). THE Hammers quickly took control of the game: after ten minutes, Tomáš Souček placed a good helmet shot from a corner to open the scoring (0-1, 10e). Julen Lopetegui's men then doubled the lead in the second half via Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who unlocked his counter with the London club with a cross shot into the area (0-2, 59e).
Thanks to this success, West Ham remains fourteenth but takes six points ahead of the red zone, currently occupied by Ipswich Town, Wolverhampton and Southampton. Enough to give Lopetegui a little breathing room, whose future across the Channel seemed threatened given the poor results of his team. Extremely disappointing tonight, Newcastle sees its streak of three consecutive victories come to an end. THE Magpiestenth in the ranking, are one unit behind the sixth and last European place occupied by Tottenham with 19 points.
A small check from the Saudis in the winter transfer window will be welcome.
