Comments:

League position: 14th Newcastle United had now lost one of their last seven home games in the Premier League (won four). Joselu had now scored in five different Premier League games and had ended on the winning side on each occasion. With this win, manager Rafa Benítez had won a total of 500 points during his career in the Premier League. Newcastle United manager Rafa Benítez said: "When you are losing it is difficult, when you are winning everyone is happy. We won with everyone trying so hard. The fans were crucial last year and they have to be crucial this year. They are trying to help. I think I have some friends in the stands. I said before that Joselu needed to be fit. He did well. It was a great effort."

League position: 20th West Ham United had now lost all three of their first three games of a Premier League season for the first time since 2010-11, when they went on to be relegated. The Hammers had conceded at least three goals in four of their last five games in the Premier League. They had now won one of their last 11 away games in the Premier League (lost six). West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic said: "We have to admit they were better in everything, especially in determination and wanting to win second balls and making a transition when doing that. We didn't deserve anything. We are trying to be active in the transfer market still but I was happy with the team. It was just the performance that was not good."
