Dwight Gayle, Sean Longstaff, Miguel Almiron and Valentino Lazaro were on target for Newcastle, who entertain relegation-threatened West Ham United on Sunday.

“We’ve got a few (injury problems),” said Bruce. “Sean’s got a hamstring, unfortunately, which is a blow. It’s as good as I’ve seen him. We’ve got one or two others. Manquillo’s got a bit of a strain. I’ll not know until the next 24 or 48 hours.”
