Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at St James' Park. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' It looks surprising Newcastle United FC does not make any changes. Jarrod Bowen has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' Bruno Guimaraes needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 50 Yellow cards this season.
  • 15' Newcastle United FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Nick Woltemade on 15.
  • 19' What a strike from William Osula! The score is 2-0.
  • 24' It looks like no one’s ball. Newcastle United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 29' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Malick Thiaw made 406 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 34' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. West Ham United FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 39' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 44' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 49' Newcastle United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 54' It’s high time Eddie Howe made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 59' It’s a booking for West Ham United FC player. Tomas Soucek gets a card.
  • 64' 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.
  • 65' Goal! William Osula scores his 15 goal in 366 matches.
  • 67' A meaty challenge results in booking for El Hadji Diouf on 67.
  • 69' Goal! Valentin Castellanos scores his 96 goal in 286 matches.
  • 69' That looks like a foul for a card for El Hadji Diouf.
  • 74' West Ham United FC is showing some good football. However, West Ham United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 79' 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 Callum Wilson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 80' The referee calls foul for Mohamadou Kante. He receives a card.
  • 83' That looks like a foul for a card for Lewis Hall.
  • 88' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • Full Time. Newcastle United FC beats West Ham United FC
