Newcastle brace for League Cup final after untidy win over West Ham

Newcastle 1-0 West Ham
by Paul Donovan
at the London Stadium

WEMBLEY-BOUND Newcastle United managed to nick the points in this keenly contested game against West Ham at the London Stadium.

The two teams cancelled each other out for long periods of the first half, with things only really opening up after the interval.

Teams playing against West Ham now find them very difficult to break down, with three at the back and five effectively across the middle.
