Hull are being given a massive favour by West Brom, as that goal lifts Hull out of the drop zone for now. Burnley are threatening at the minute though, they look the better side.

"Too easy for West Brom. Craig Gardner just picked Victor Anichibe out. And just watch Newcastle's 10 outfield players walk back from conceding that goal. It was like 'oh no, someone has scored again', not 'who was picking up Anichebe?' It's 'someone has scored a goal against us. It doesn't matter.'"

BBC Final Score

Former England striker James Beattie on BBC Final Score: "You have seen it with Christian Benteke and now you are seeing it with Tom Cleverley. Tim Sherwood has given the players confidence and told them they are good players.

"If you give the players freedom to express themselves on the pitch this is what you get. Tim has gone in there and done a fantastic man-management job. A few weeks ago Aston Villa were clearly in a false position."

Mark, Berkshire: Truly abject from the gutless Saints. The failure to provide adequate coverage for Fraser Forster has not helped either.

Ashwin: Are Leicester honestly in 14th as it stands? Story of the season if they finish with 40 points or more.

And that's the sign of a team in a terrible rut. Almost score at one end, concede instantly at the other. It's a really good header from Victor Anichebe though, holding off his marker to flash home Craig Gardner's cross.

Newcastle are in the bottom three...

I like Hugo Lloris. I like him a lot. But let's be honest... he makes a right mess of coming to collect this long punt forward and Steven Nzonzi is in the right place to guide the ball home from 12 yards out.

Newcastle finally do threaten as Moussa Sissoko has a shot blocked on the line by Joleon Lescott! A great chance. Could he have done more there? Only eight yards out. Let's give Lescott the credit.

No goals in 37, now three in three for Tom Cleverley, who taps home after Jack Grealish got behind the West Ham defence and laid the ball on a plate. Tim Sherwood - managerial genius.

Burnley almost break their goal drought! Ashley Barnes wrestles with his marker and flicks a header on goal but he can't keep it down.

"The Newcastle supporters are a constant. What have they done wrong? Turn up every week to watch this pile of rubbish. What's that all about?"

Newcastle have had 67% of the possession but apart from a few long-range efforts they've created little. How the locals must long for Papiss Cisse, Demba Ba and Yohan Cabaye.

Nevermind Shearer, Sir Les, Beardsley, Ginola, Tino...

It's like an old bottle of pop this game - just no fizz in it as Leandro Bacuna pumps in a cross from deep which is aimed at nobody in particular and finds nobody in particular.

Finally some life from Spurs as Erik Lamela floats in a free-kick which Eric Muniesa heads against his own bar.

"It's very, very flat. Once Newcastle beat one red shirt there's another along very quickly. It's a Tony Pulis team. They are well drilled."

Steve Bruce is on his feet but he can't celebrate a goal yet. Ahmed Elmohamady meets a left-wing cross with a powerful header but he can't steer it on target.

Meanwhile, it's almost 10 hours now since Burnley found the net. As it stands they will be relegated this afternoon.

Stoke's goal was manufactured down the right. A deliberate ploy? This heat map suggests so.

"Southampton have not started well. You have to go into games, even if you have nothing to play for, and you have to have an intensity and go in to the game playing at some pace. But Southampton have not shown that and are 2-0 behind."

A goal for Hull would leave Newcastle in the bottom three so it's only right that Ryan Taylor should have a go from 40 yards out. He cracks in a free-kick with plenty of swerve and power, but the shot drifts wide.

It's been coming - Stoke take a deserved lead when a poor defensive header lets in Mame Diouf down the right and the striker's cross is deflected into the path of Charlie Adam who stoops to head home from six yards out.
