Eddie Howe issues triple Newcastle injury update after comeback West Ham win
Newcastle made the perfect start when Alexander Isak converted from the penalty spot in the third minute, but West Ham responded well and entered half time in front courtesy of goals from Michail Antonio and Mohammed Kudus.
Jarrod Bowen then increased the Hammers' lead just three minutes after the interval, but the Magpies admirably sparked a memorable comeback, scoring three goals in the final 13 minutes to snatch maximum points in dramatic fashion.
Isak netted his second penalty of the contest shortly before substitute Harvey Barnes scored twice in the closing stages, firstly slotting a composed finish under the legs of Lukasz Fabianski before curling a sensational 20-yard strike into the far corner in the 90th minute, sparking bedlam among the St James' Park faithful.
