Newcastle United moved closer to a top-four Premier League spot by beating West Ham 1-0 at the London Stadium. Bruno Guimarães scored the winning goal after a smart pass from Alexander Isak.
West Ham started strong and looked promising at the beginning. However, Newcastle’s defense stayed solid and blocked most of their chances. The team also faced injury scares with Sandro Tonali, Joelinton, and goalkeeper Nick Pope. Still, they managed to hold their lead and secure the win.
The victory brings Newcastle just two points away from the Champions League places. It also gives them a confidence boost before their Carabao Cup final against Liverpool.
West Ham tried to push forward but failed to break through Newcastle’s defense. They also appealed for a foul in the buildup to Guimarães’ goal, but the referee dismissed their claims.
In the end, Newcastle’s well-organized defense and Guimarães’ goal made the difference. This win keeps their top-four hopes alive and gives them momentum for the upcoming challenges.
