<\/a>West Ham are on the brink of relegation \u2013 and only have themselves to blame after Newcastle defeat<\/p>\n

Will Osula scored twice as Newcastle<\/a> edged West Ham<\/a> to the brink of relegation from the Premier League.<\/p>\n

The Danish striker struck either side of half-time after record signing Nick Woltemade had given the Magpies an early lead with his first league goal since December to ease his side to a 3-1 victory on a day when the Toon Army paid tribute to Kieran Trippier<\/a> on his final appearance at St James\u2019 Park.<\/p>\n

Substitute Taty Castellanos reduced the deficit with an eye-catching finish to spark a late rally during which he hit the crossbar, but ultimately it counted for little.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Mateus Fernandes admits West Ham lacked fight in Newcastle defeat<\/p>\n

“This is football. We need to be positive because we have one more game,\u201d Fernandes says to Sky. \u201cOne game that can change everything. We could have put pressure on Tottenham, but now it is difficult.<\/p>\n

“Of course [I understand fan frustration at full-time]. We didn’t play with full fight and spirit like against Arsenal. We missed everything – fight, energy, second balls we were every time late.<\/p>\n

“It is very hard to think about the future. One game to try to win. It is difficult. Everything can happen. Hopefully they [Spurs] lose against Chelsea and in the last match we go with everything. We have to believe.”<\/p>\n

<\/a>Nuno Espirito Santo speaks to Sky Sports<\/p>\n

\u201cThe game was not lost,\u201d the West Ham manager says when asked if the game was gone in the first 20 minuets. \u201cWe had a big disadvantage, we conceded two goals, but it was not lost. We tried to react, but the way we conceded was poor, and even though we tried to react, it was not enough.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw mistakes, that happens, I saw disorganisation, we were too open and allowed Newcastle to play. It was a very difficult match for us. Maybe we could have prepared better.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started the game poorly. Then everything is much harder. Let\u2019s try to finish the season with dignity and respect for the club. It is going to be a hard week for us but we owe it to the club to try to the end.<\/p>\n

\u201cI understand the fans are frustrated and disappointed, with reason. We understand that.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Newcastle, meanwhile, there is still a slim chance of European football next year \u2013 a Conference League place remains mathematically within reach. They were deserving winners today.<\/p>\n

<\/a>FT: Newcastle 3-1 West Ham<\/p>\n

Dejected faces in claret and blue wherever you look. A hint of resignation to their fate, too? Today felt like the day that a win needed to come. Tottenham will be safe if they take one more point from their final two games \u2013 barring an almighty goal difference swing.<\/p>\n

Newcastle break at pace and have five in the box as Jacob Murphy looks up. He crosses for someone who isn\u2019t Anthony Elanga, but Elanga swings wildly regardless and spoons up into Row W. <\/p>\n

Still, West Ham aren\u2019t getting two back now.<\/p>\n

Right, this is a chance. Crysencio Summerville is hacked at by Bruno Guimaraes as the Newcastle captain continues to lose his head. <\/p>\n

25 yards out, left of centre. Perfect for a right-footer. Taty Castellanos has already scored one beauty….<\/p>\n
