Newcastle secures 1-0 victory at West Ham

Newcastle United reignited their Champions League qualification hopes with a 1-0 win over West Ham, thanks to Bruno Guimaraes' second-half goal. The victory propelled Newcastle to sixth in the Premier League, level on points with Manchester City and just two behind Chelsea, as they aim for a top-four finish. West Ham had an early chance to score but failed to capitalize, while Newcastle's performance improved over the match, culminating in Guimaraes' decisive strike following a cross from Harvey Barnes. The win is particularly significant as Newcastle prepares for the League Cup final against Liverpool, marking their second appearance in three years. Despite the loss, West Ham remains safe from relegation, sitting comfortably above the drop zone. The match also saw the return of striker Michail Antonio, who received a warm welcome from fans following his recovery from injury.
