West Ham United vs Newcastle United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

The final whistle sounds, and a cheer of joy echoes around West Ham's London Stadium as the hosts beat Newcastle 3-1. It was hardly a classic second half, but Hammers' fans won't care as they've grabbed their first win at home since February, and their second of the Premier League season. For Nuno, this is his first win as boss at the fifth time of asking, and proceedings initially started in bleak fashion. Bowen smacked the right post in the fourth minute. Just 26 seconds later, Murphy had the ball in the Hammers' net after the visitors countered to blistering effect. In the 11th minute, the looming negativity continued as Bowen was brought down by Thiaw for an initial penalty before the VAR suggested that the defender had got enough of the ball to overturn the decision. A Paqueta pinger restored parity 10 minutes before the interval, while Botman sliding a Wan-Bissaka cross into Pope's goal gave the Hammers the lead in stoppage time. The second period was a scrappy one, yet a toothless Newcastle just couldn't fight back with a 0.54 xG. Soucek made it 3-1 with practically the last kick of the game to really help the Irons play above their 1.58 xG. Now all in claret and blue will be hoping to kick-start their season from here, while Newcastle recover from consecutive away league defeats. Thank you for joining us. Goodbye!

FULL-TIME: WEST HAM 3-1 NEWCASTLE UNITED

The goal stands! Three points are staying in East London! What a valuable win this will be!

GOAL! JUBILATION FOR WEST HAM! 3-1! Paqueta and Bowen fly down the right, before the latter shoots at Pope. The keeper can't stop the ball, it deflects out off him, and Soucek slides the ball home! The VAR is having a look for offside now it seems.

Paqueta is also booked. He first hoofed the ball away, and then dived. Silly stuff at the end of this game.

Ramsey collides with Paqueta who dramatically sells the shove like a WWE move. The Newcastle mand gets a booking.

Burn launches in a long throw from the left. Diouf leaves it, and Areola dives onto the ball before staying down with cramp. Convenient.

Soucek heads a cross clear from the West Ham box and takes a kick between the legs for his trouble. Free-kick for the hosts. Up the other end, Bowen flies in behind on the left, yet blasts off target. He wants a corner for a deflection but doesn't get one.

There'll be five minutes of stoppage time.

At long last, the Magpies get their first shot on target in the second half. Well, header. Osula rises to a right-sided cross, but his nod is straight at Areola, who dives on the ball.
