Match report: Newcastle 4-3 West Ham
Premier League: Harvey Barnes scored two late goals in a brief substitutes’ cameo during a seven-goal thriller, turning a game that West Ham had led 3-1 on its head – not to mention damaging the visitors’ own European ambitions and the job security of their manager, David Moyes.
David Moyes: “We were playing against a good Newcastle team who have a lot of good attacking players and that showed in the second half,” says David Moyes in an interview with TNT, upon being asked how his side lost that game.
“We have a lot of good attacking players to but when it came to the defending, things fell apart a little bit. Both teams mighht say that but certainly we fell apart more than they did.”
On the second penalty: “I think the boy [Anthony Gordon] kicked Kalvin Phillips if you want to llok at it that way. He put his foot in front of Kalvin’s and stopped him kicking the ball. I don’t see how that’s really a penalty kick but there you go, it was given. It was very similar to the first one in some ways. Those were close decisions, tough decisions that didn’t fall in our favour. I think the referee played a huge part in today’s result, I really do.”
