Events

Match Events

0' That's the starting whistle at St. James' Park. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Newcastle United FC and West Ham United FC.
5' The home supporters are growing impatient. Newcastle United FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
10' Miguel Almiron has been relatively quiet despite scoring 67 goals in his last 303 appearances.
12' The referee has no hesitation. Craig Dawson is booked for West Ham United FC — Yellow card on 12.
16' Jonjo Shelvey was booked on 16.
21' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
26' Ryan Fredericks has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
31' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
36' Issa Diop doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
36' Craig Dawson was booked on 36.
41' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Joelinton makes no mistake. 1-1!
46' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Paul Dummett suffering a number of foals already.
51' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Newcastle United FC and West Ham United FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
56' It looks surprising West Ham United FC does not make any changes. Federico Fernandez has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

64' Time for substitution for Newcastle United FC. Allan Saint-Maximin is replaced by Callum Wilson.
69' The 31-year-old Tomas Soucek has been sensational this season — 4 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
73' GOAL! Issa Diop fires home to make it 1-2!
75' Fresh legs for West Ham United FC! Said Benrahma comes on to replace Mark Noble.
80' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Jesse Lingard makes no mistake. 1-3!
81' A change in the Newcastle United FC ranks — Sean Longstaff exits the field as Joe Willock enters on 81.
82' The deadlock is broken! Joe Willock gets on the scoresheet on 82 minutes.
87' A tactical swap from West Ham United FC — Manuel Lanzini on, Jesse Lingard off on 87 minutes.
90' The crowd applauds Ben Johnson as he leaves the pitch. Ryan Fredericks steps in for West Ham United FC.
90' Newcastle United FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 90.
