EDDIE HOWE said his Newcastle side were “unrecognisable” after they slumped to defeat at struggling West Ham.

The Hammers had not won a home match since February and looked set for another torturous afternoon in front of their own fans when Jacob Murphy put Newcastle ahead, just 26 seconds after Jarrod Bowen had hit a post.

The Hammers had a penalty decision overturned by VAR before they equalised through Lucas Paqueta’s strike from the edge of the area.

Sven Botman turned Aaron Wan-Bissaka's cross into his own net to give West Ham the lead and Tomas Soucek wrapped up the win in stoppage time.
