FT: Newcastle 2-4 West Ham
Newcastle United
Newcastle's Matt Ritchie speaking to Sky Sports: "I thought we started well. We were in control and then we brought on the second half ourselves. We've worked on closing the game out and managing the game and we didn't do that today. It was our own doing that we lost that control and hopefully we can learn quickly because we can't be doing that every week.
"There were certainly positives. It was great to see the fans back and first half there was some good play. We could have maybe scored one or two more but there were positives for sure. Hopefully we can give the fans something to shout about this season."
