Newcastle United triumphed over West Ham United with a thrilling 4-3 victory yesterday, despite a dismal showing by the latter in the final 20 minutes.

In a clash at St James’ Park in the Premier League, a West Ham player delivered a woeful performance, attracting criticism for his lackluster display.

Manager David Moyes made defensive tweaks, while Eddie Howe opted for attacking changes, leading to Newcastle’s resurgence, acknowledged by club captain Kurt Zouma.

Despite holding a 3-1 lead until the 77th minute, the Hammers suffered a bitter 4-3 defeat, causing frustration among the team.

Moyes faced scrutiny for his questionable substitutions, contributing to the loss, alongside questionable refereeing decisions by Rob Jones, which impacted the outcome.

Among the starting XI, one player notably underperformed, further compounding West Ham’s defeat against Newcastle.

Reflecting on the game, the disappointment lingers, as West Ham seemed in control for a significant portion of the match, only to succumb to pressure, allowing Newcastle to capitalize.

The addition of Kalvin Phillips shifted the momentum in favor of Newcastle, resulting in a missed opportunity for West Ham to secure crucial points.

With ambitions of securing a top-seven finish now jeopardized, West Ham faces an uphill battle following the disappointing outcome against Newcastle.

While some players showcased commendable performances, one player, Vladimir Coufal, failed to meet expectations, casting doubt on his future with the club after rejecting a contract offer.

Coufal’s subpar showing against Newcastle, including conceding an early penalty and struggling defensively throughout, raises concerns regarding his form and contractual negotiations.

Recording dismal stats, including zero tackles, interceptions, and a low passing completion rate, Coufal’s performance fell short of expectations, diminishing his negotiating position for a new contract with West Ham.
