Shelvey and Clark celebrate after a hard-won win
NEWCASTLE UNITED squeezed home at London Stadium on Saturday, at the end of a game they should have run away with by half time.
Magpies manager Steve Bruce was right when he said that his side “could and should have had four or five by half time.”
The problems began for West Ham in the 15th minute, when Issa Diop gave away a free kick on the left-hand side. Jonjo Shelvey duly delivered, his cross nodded back across by Miguel Almiron for Ciaran Clark to head home.
