It said it all that Newcastle United players and staff left the London Stadium a little disappointed after only going home with a point following the 1-1 draw against West Ham.
Newcastle had more possession, more shots and more corners than a side riding high in fifth place and it has been a long time since that has happened, particularly on the road.
It was not so long ago that Newcastle would have lost this game yet, despite being without the injured Callum Wilson, Allan Saint-Maximin and Kieran Trippier, Eddie Howe's side put in another spirited display.
