Newcastle are good and don’t really need a lot of help to beat West Ham, but West Ham generously gave it to them anyway.
The problem for Moyes with that was that watching that performance it was impossible to imagine it being too long before another result came along that would bring his own words cascading down around him.as this truly horiffic night against a very good but not unstoppable Newcastle side
West Ham actually started this game really rather well. For five whole minutes. For five intoxicating, beguiling and entirely deceptive minutes they were everything they hadn’t been in that stressful pressure-cooker of the weekend’s six-pointer. They ran at Newcastle, they got the slower members of that backline troubled. They nearly took the lead through an own goal. They dominated possession and territory.
Even then, West Ham managed to get themselves back in the game before half-time when Kurt Zouma pounced on a rare Nick Pope error to head home from a corner.
We’d fully expected to be writing about Newcastle after this game and their top-four chances on a night when. And Newcastle were good, as they have been for the last few weeks after a fairly major wobble. Tonight’s results, coupled with Spurs’ latest self-inflicted misery at Everton on Monday, mean the top four should now be squared away. Newcastle and Manchester United now both have three-point and one-game advantages over a Spurs side that no longer looks capable of threatening.
