Newcastle player ratings v West Ham: Duo star with 8/10 displays in victory
Substitutes
Ayoze Perez – 5: The Spaniard was Newcastle’s first change, coming after 76 minutes, by which point all the action was over. Tried his best to push up and relieve pressure from West Ham but in reality had very little to do.
Chancel Mbemba- 6: Brought on to shore up the Magpies’ defence, he and his team mates were put under real threat by the Hammers as they looked for a way back into the match. Out of favour at one point this season, could be brought back into the fray with the busy festive fixture list.
Jacob Murphy – N/A: Was given just minutes to show off his skills, replacing Christian Atsu after the Ghanaian’s mammoth shift on the left flank.
In other Newcastle United news, the club are expected to make an official move for a 13-goal hot shot.
