A late Joe Willock strike off the bench ensured United blushes were saved, having thrown away a two-goal half-time lead. Earlier Allan Saint-Maximin forced an Issa Diop own goal, before Joelinton netted his second goal in his last two games at St James’ Park.
Here’s how our Newcastle United writer Liam Kennedy rated the Magpies’ individual performances with ASM Standing out from the crowd...
1. Martin Dubravka - 6
Confident on crosses. Little to do in the way of saves, maybe could have done a little better with the West Ham opening goal. Photo: Stu Forster
2. Jacob Murphy - 7
A slow start when it was 11v11 but really came into his own when against 10 men, breaking forward at will. A couple of strong strikes at goal. One cleared off the line. Photo: RICHARD SELLERS
3. Federico Fernandez - 6
Looked much more like his old self in this one. Very solid on the right of the back three, apart from switching off for the West Ham opening goal. Photo: DAVE ROGERS
4. Ciaran Clark - 6
Plenty of crosses to deal with against a strong set piece side but coped with it really well until his inexplicably handball late on that gifted the Hammers a penalty and an equaliser. Photo: David Rogers
