Newcastle United supporters have hailed a 'massive' Premier League victory after they beat West Ham United 5-1 in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
The Magpies started the game in third place and that is where they stayed thanks to a Callum Wilson brace either side of half-time, two more from Joelinton and a further strike from Alexander Isak. Eddie Howe's two changes to the starting XI both found the back of the net as they justified his team rotation.
A superb cross from Allan Saint-Maximin picked out Wilson inside the area as he headed home after just six minutes to open the scoring. Joelinton would add another in the 13th minute after he was superbly played in behind the West Ham defence by Fabian Schar.
