Hammers strike to land first blow under Nuno

November 03, 2025

NUNO Espirito Santo celebrated his first win as West Ham manager on Sunday as his spirited team battled from behind to beat Newcastle 3-1 at the London Stadium.

The Hammers remain in the relegation zone after just their second Premier League win of the season but are now just three points behind 17th-placed Burnley, whom they play next week.

Eddie Howe's Newcastle took the lead courtesy of a fine early strike from Jacob Murphy, but Lucas Paqueta levelled and an own goal from the unfortunate Sven Botman gave the home team the advantage at halftime.

The visitors made wholesale changes in the second half but were blunt in attack, and Tomas Soucek made sure of all three points for West Ham in the closing moments.

Nuno was appointed West Ham boss in late September, just over two weeks after he was sacked by Nottingham Forest, who are also in the drop zone.
