Newcastle United will be disappointed with their 4-2 defeat against West Ham United in the Premier League yesterday.

The Magpies started the game with an early goal from Callum Wilson, and despite conceding an equaliser they regained the lead through Jacob Murphy.

Newcastle were undoubtedly the better team in the first half and in control of the game.

However, their performance levels dipped considerably after the break and it would be fair to say that the Magpies threw the game away.

Steve Bruce’s side looked vulnerable at the back during the second half, and West Ham punished them multiple times on the counter-attack.

The only positive from Newcastle’s performance yesterday was Allan Saint-Maximin’s display.

Allan Saint-Maximin in the first half for Newcastle vs. West Ham:

◉ Most take-ons (5)

◉= Most chances created (4)

◉= Most assists (1)

Causing the Hammers all sorts of problems.
