West Ham stay in relegation zone after losing at

Match Summary

Will Osula scored twice as Newcastle secured a 3-1 victory over West Ham at St James' Park on Sunday.

The Danish striker struck either side of half-time, with record signing Nick Woltemade opening the scoring for the Magpies with his first league goal since December.

Substitute Taty Castellanos netted a spectacular first-time finish to give West Ham hope, hitting the crossbar late on, but Newcastle held on for the win.

Key Moments

Newcastle took the lead after 15 minutes when Harvey Barnes intercepted a pass and crossed for Woltemade to side-foot home.

Osula doubled the advantage four minutes later, finishing past advancing keeper Mads Hermansen after a delightful team move.

Taty reduced the deficit with an eye-catching finish, latching onto Hermansen's clearance, but the Hammers couldn't mount a comeback.

Relegation Implications

Defeat means West Ham will be relegated on Tuesday if Tottenham win at Chelsea. A draw at Stamford Bridge would also effectively send them down due to their significantly inferior goal difference.

If Spurs lose, West Ham must still beat Leeds at home and hope their neighbours lose to Everton to stay up.
