Match Report
Newcastle brushed aside West Ham 3-1 at St James' Park, heaping more relegation misery on the Hammers in a commanding performance. William Osula was the standout, netting twice to drive a dominant home victory.
Newcastle were ruthless from the off — Nick Woltemade struck on 15 minutes after pouncing on a loose pass, and Osula added a second just four minutes later with a composed finish. The hosts wrapped it up when Osula grabbed his brace on 65 minutes. West Ham had a brief lifeline when Valentín Castellanos rattled the crossbar before sweeping in a consolation at 69, but it never ignited a genuine comeback.
For Newcastle, the victory consolidates an 11th-place finish — solid if uninspiring. West Ham face a far bleaker reality: two points adrift of Tottenham with just one match left, they drop into the Championship if Spurs beat Chelsea on Tuesday.
