Newcastle United vs West Ham United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the reaction from St. James' Park
Newcastle failed to make the most of a dream start as they were held to a 1-1 draw at home to West Ham that left them in fourth place in the Premier League.
Callum Wilson raced clear to put Eddie Howe’s team in front after three minutes, shortly after Joe Willock had a goal disallowed for the hosts. But West Ham recovered well and levelled 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.
They 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.

An intense duel on Tyneside sees the spoils shared, as Newcastle have to settle for a single point again - that's the Toon's 10th Premier League draw of the season. An explosive start subsided as West Ham played their way into the game, and having scored their equaliser, Moyes' boys held firm until full-time by virtue of some disciplined defending. Newcastle remain unbeaten in 16 top-flight outings, but are now down to fourth in the table; the Hammers sit just above the drop zone.
