Newcastle found the net twice inside the opening three minutes as Joe Willock’s strike was ruled out before Callum Wilson continued his good form against West Ham with a well-taken finish to give the hosts the lead.
West Ham responded well and drew level through Lucas Paqueta, who had been linked with a move to St James’s Park last summer. It was the first goal The Magpies had conceded in the Premier League since the World Cup break.
A goalless second half followed as Newcastle sealed their fourth draw in five Premier League games to stretch their unbeaten run in the top flight to 16 matches.
