3 – 1
“Nick Woltemade opened the scoring after Newcastle had camped on West Ham's corner flag, with a right-footed shot from the centre of the box into the left corner following Harvey Barnes' assist.”
Pivotal“Just four minutes after Woltemade's opener, William Osula doubled Newcastle's lead with a composed left-footed finish from outside the box after Jacob Ramsey's perfectly weighted through ball split the West Ham defence.”
Pivotal“West Ham's double substitution at the hour mark backfired almost immediately as Osula grabbed his second of the match, finishing from the centre of the box with a right-footed shot into the left corner after Joe Willock's assist.”
Pivotal“Taty Castellanos pulled one back for West Ham with a superb right-footed strike into the top-left corner from outside the box, assisted by Mads Hermansen, providing a consolation but nothing more.”

Outstanding performance
Newcastle United•AttackerNewcastle United were ruthless and clinical in the opening exchanges, scoring twice within four minutes through Nick Woltemade and William Osula to render West Ham's afternoon a damage-limitation exercise before it had barely begun. The Magpies' attacking intent was evident from the outset — a flurry of corners in the 11th to 13th minutes laid the groundwork for Woltemade's opener, and Jacob Ramsey's incisive through ball unlocked the Hammers' defence for Osula's first just four minutes later. Despite the statistics suggesting a surprisingly even contest — both sides registered 15 shots, with West Ham edging shots on target 8-7 and matching Newcastle in dangerous attacks — the clinical difference was stark: Newcastle missed none of their three big chances while West Ham squandered theirs. Osula's second in the 65th minute, moments after West Ham had made double substitutions to chase the game, put the result beyond any doubt, with Taty Castellanos' late consolation doing little to flatter the visitors. For Newcastle, the win consolidates their push for European football; for West Ham, a second-half collapse following the double substitution at the hour mark raises uncomfortable questions about their depth and resilience.
