West Ham Defeats Newcastle 1-0 in Premier League

Tomas Soucek's early goal helped West Ham secure a surprising 2-0 victory over Newcastle United, silencing the home crowd at St James' Park. The Hammers, who had been struggling in the league, delivered an impressive away performance, with Soucek's header from a set-piece marking his second goal of the season. This win not only eases pressure on manager Julen Lopetegui but also sees West Ham move six points clear of the relegation zone. Soucek's record against Newcastle stands out, as he has scored four Premier League goals against them, more than any other team. Newcastle had a strong start but were ultimately thwarted by West Ham's resilient defense and Lukasz Fabianski's key saves. The victory marks a potential turning point for West Ham as they aim to build on this success in upcoming fixtures.
