Newcastle entered the game on a three-match winning run, including back-to-back victories in the Premier League, but it was a previously out-of-form West Ham side who came out on top.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Newcastle started well at St James' Park, but the West Ham burst their bubble with ten minutes on the clock when Emerson delivered a corner from the left and Soucek was left alone to nod home.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Alexander Isak went close to a leveller when he took down Bruno Guimaraes' pass and fired wide, but West Ham stood firm to take their advantage to the break.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Then, eight minutes after the restart, Wan-Bissaka got forward down the right to double the lead, collecting Jarrod Bowen's pass to fire home via the base of the far post.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
That second goal took the wind out of Newcastle's sails and they failed to test Lukasz Fabianski from then on, slumping to a second loss in their last three home league matches.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
West Ham stay 14th in the table but are now within three points off Newcastle, who drop a place to 10th, still four points adrift of the top four.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I don't think anything takes me by surprise in the Premier League. Every team has qualities. I felt the goals changed the game today. I thought we were the dominant team going in at half-time, the game could have been very different if we'd have taken one of our chances in the first half,\" Newcastle manager Eddie Howe said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
