West Ham Secures First Home Premier League Win Since 2025 Beating Newcastle 3-1

West Ham United secured their first home Premier League victory since February 2025 by coming from behind to defeat Newcastle United 3-1 at the London Stadium. Jacob Murphy gave Newcastle an early lead, but Lucas Paqueta equalized with a long-range shot before halftime, and an own goal by Sven Botman gave West Ham the lead going into stoppage time. Substitute Tomas Soucek sealed the win with a late goal, marking only West Ham's second win of the season and the first under manager Nuno Espírito Santo. The victory lifted West Ham out of the relegation zone and ended a nine-game home winless streak, while Newcastle extended their Premier League away winless run to eight matches. Newcastle struggled in the second half despite making three substitutions, failing to mount a significant challenge after their early goal. This result highlights West Ham's resilience and marks a crucial step in their fight against relegation, whereas Newcastle remains mid-table but inconsistent in league play despite success in other competitions.
