Newcastle 3-1 West Ham
Will Osula scored twice as Newcastle edged West Ham to the brink of relegation from the Premier League on Sunday.
The Danish striker struck either side of half-time after record signing Nick Woltemade had given the Magpies an early lead with his first league goal since December to ease his side to a 3-1 victory.
Kieran Trippier tribute
On a day when the Toon Army paid tribute to Kieran Trippier on his final appearance at St James' Park, the hosts took an early lead when Harvey Barnes picked off goalkeeper Mads Hermansen's pass to defender Jean-Clair Todibo and crossed for Woltemade to side-foot home.
It was 2-0 within four minutes as Trippier, Barnes, Bruno Guimarães and Jacob Ramsey combined delightfully to play Osula through, and he out-paced defender Axel Disasi before firing past the advancing Hermansen.
West Ham rally
Substitute Taty Castellanos reduced the deficit with an eye-catching finish to spark a late rally during which he hit the crossbar, but ultimately it counted for little.
The visitors started to make an impression with Mateus Fernandes, aided by Jarrod Bowen and Crysencio Summerville, but the home side continued to threaten.
Osula completed his brace when Joe Willock robbed fellow substitute Pablo and exchanged passes with the striker before crossing for him to score his second of the game.
Taty's spectacular first-time finish as he latched onto Hermansen's clearance four minutes later gave the Londoners faint hope and he then clipped the crossbar with the Magpies sleeping, but there was no way back.
Relegation outlook
Defeat means the Hammers will be relegated on Tuesday if Tottenham win at Chelsea.
A draw at Stamford Bridge would effectively send them down because of their significantly inferior goal difference.
Even if Spurs lost, Nuno Espirito Santo's men would need to beat Leeds at home and hope that their neighbours lose to Everton on their own pitch to stay up.
