West Ham end long home winless streak with 3-1 Newcastle victory

West Ham United secured their first home win since February with a 3-1 comeback victory over Newcastle United, marking the first Premier League win under new manager Nuno Espirito Santo. Despite conceding an early goal due to defensive lapses, West Ham fought back with Lucas Paqueta's powerful strike, an own goal by Newcastle's Sven Botman, and a late goal by Tomas Soucek. The victory ended a 248-day home win drought and lifted West Ham to 18th place in the league standings. Newcastle, who have struggled on the road all season, failed to capitalize on their early lead and made multiple substitutions at halftime without changing the game's outcome. West Ham's resilience was evident despite a penalty being overturned by VAR, showcasing improved performance and giving fans a reason to celebrate amid previous frustrations. This win offers a potential turning point for West Ham in a challenging season under their new coach.
