West Ham United's Premier League campaign is on the brink of disaster after a 3-1 defeat at Newcastle United. The loss has reignited fears of relegation, with Tottenham Hotspur now needing only a point to send their London rivals down.
The Magpies took an early lead through a Callum Wilson penalty, and although West Ham responded with a goal from Saïd Benrahma, a second-half collapse handed Newcastle the three points. Miguel Almiron sealed the win for the hosts, while Jarrod Bowen's late consolation was little consolation for the struggling Hammers.
David Moyes' side were left to rue a strange selection, with several key players missing from the starting line-up. The decision to leave out key players has been widely questioned, and it seems that this may have contributed to the team's downfall.
West Ham's relegation battle is now all but over, with Tottenham needing just a point to secure their place in the Premier League. The Londoners will now have to focus on trying to pick up some points in their remaining matches in a bid to salvage some pride.
