Newcastle 2-0 West Ham
As a Spurs fan, I'd love to see Saint-Maximin play for us. Direct, dangerous and positive. Like Lamela but with an end product.

Neil Lennon
Former Celtic manager on BBC Radio 5 LiveCraig Dawson took a heavy touch and Allan Saint-Maximin all of a sudden was breaking.
I think Newcastle have deserved it. There seems to be a good spirit about them and they thoroughly deserve to be in front.

Newcastle 1-0 West Ham
Image source, Getty ImagesWest Ham defender Craig Dawson is sent off.
He hacks someone down in midfield as the ball deflects into the path of Allan Saint-Maximin for that goal.
The referee lets play go on, Newcastle score and then he comes back to show Dawson a second yellow.

Neil Lennon
Former Celtic manager on BBC Radio 5 LiveNewcastle have done their homework. West Ham’s passing hasn’t been as crisp as it should have been, but all of a sudden they’ve started switching the play and using both flanks.
At the moment the game’s in the balance, but Newcastle have had the better chances.

AdrenALI_N: West Ham have recently shown a lack of concentration as games have progressed. 3-3 with Arsenal and 3-2 wins over Wolves and Leicester City had West Ham 3-0 up in each. Is this a worrying sign they need to work on or happy days of plentiful goalscoring?
Bit worried as a WH fan. We're usually 3-0 up by now!

It's that guy Allan Saint-Maximin again. He gets the ball near the centre circle, beats a couple of defenders and has a shot blocked by Craig Dawson.

Neil Lennon
Former Celtic manager on BBC Radio 5 LiveAllan Saint-Maximin just comes alive with these brilliant bursts that he has. Miguel Almiron has looked really sharp and bright as well.
West Ham’s only opportunity has come from a set-play. There’s no doubt Newcastle have made a brighter start.

West Ham half-clear a cross straight to ASM, who plays a one-two with a team-mate before drilling in a 20-yard effort. Decent save.

Needless yellow card for Newcastle captain Jonjo Shelvey as he brings down Jarrod Bowen with no real need.
