Newcastle United are trailing 1-0 at West Ham United at half-time - here are the player ratings from the match so far.

Eddie Howe made just one forced change to the side that beat Paris Saint-Germain 4-1 in the Champions League heading into the game with Elliot Anderson replacing the suspended Anthony Gordon on the left-wing.

West Ham took an early lead after Emerson caught out a charging Nick Pope before squaring the ball back to Tomas Soucek for a simple tap-in.

After an impressive run of form, The Magpies were lacking ideas in the opening 45 minutes at the London Stadium as they found themselves behind.
