Tomas Soucek’s first-half header and Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s first goal for his new club gave West Ham their first away win in more than three months as the Hammers became the first team to score more than once at Newcastle this season.

Soucek found space to power in from Emerson Palmieri’s outswinging corner for the 10th-minute opener, setting the visitors on their way to a victory sealed by Wan-Bissaka’s finish eight minutes after the break.

Alexander Isak had a fifth-minute strike ruled out for offside as Newcastle, who had not conceded at home for more than four hours of football, missed out on a victory that would have sent them sixth.

Joe Willock, Isak and Anthony Gordon all had presentable first-half chances but the hosts failed to produce an attempt on target during a lacklustre second-half showing.
