Newcastle were held at home by a resilient West Ham on Saturday as they slipped to fourth in the Premier League.
Callum Wilson opened the scoring after just three minutes in what was a superb start for Eddie Howe's side with Joe Willock also seeing a goal chalked off after just 37 seconds.
West Ham grew into the game and began to dominate the first half, and Lucas Paqueta fired home emphatically from a Declan Rice corner after 32 minutes.
It was a hard-fought second half, as Newcastle controlled the game, but the Hammers held firm to secure what could be a crucial point in their battle against relegation.

Newcastle were held 1-1 by a resilient West Ham side at St James's Park in the Premier League
Lucas Paqueta's 32nd minute equaliser cancelled out Callum Wilson's early strike for the hosts
Nick Pope - Newcastle's No. 1 will be gutted to have finally conceded in the Premier League after nine and a half hours of football. But that is some achievement in itself and he could do nothing about Paqueta's finish. 6
Kieran Trippier - Showed his usual quality, although he perhaps wasn't as involved as much as he would have liked in Newcastle's build-up play. 6.5

Pope will be frustrated to have finally conceded but he could do nothing about Paqueta's goal
Callum Wilson opened the scoring, but was guilty of missing a couple of second half chances
Sean Longstaff - Stepped up in the absence of Guimaraes in a more defensive role and provided a tidy assist for Wilson's goal. 6.5
Joelinton - Made his physical presence felt in midfield and helped to win the ball off Paqueta for Wilson's opener. 7
Miguel Almiron - Heavily involved in play throughout and was not afraid to come infield to get on the ball, while he also assisted Willock's disallowed effort. 6.5
Callum Wilson - Took his goal well to end his 10 game goal drought, but he
