West Ham 2 Newcastle 0
West Ham boss Slaven Bilic thought his team "fully deserved the points", saying: "We were better from the start and we scored at the right times."
Opposite number Steve McClaren, predictably, was a little less pleased. "You need these games, they hurt like mad, but you need them to get the message across," he said.
"This is a journey and it is two steps forward one step back, this was two or three steps back. Our final ball was poor and now Saturday is very important to us."
