Newcastle United vs West Ham United
And breathe! An extraordinary contest at St James' Park comes to an end with the hosts taking a 4-3 victory over West Ham after a seven-goal thriller. Isak put the hosts into the lead after six minutes from the spot following a Coufal foul on Gordon in the box. West Ham responded, though, first levelling through Antonio before Kudus nudged them ahead in the 10th minute of first-half added time. Bowen looked to have put the game beyond Newcastle's reach as he netted three minutes after half-time, but the Magpies would reply in some style. First, Isak reduced the arrears from the spot after Phillips' horrible start to his West Ham career by bringing down Gordon for another penalty, before Barnes equalised following Isak's clever throughball. Howe's men weren't finished though, and neither was Barnes as he picked up the ball from Gordon in the 90th minute before arrowing a superb finish past Fabianski and in to secure the three points, even with Gordon picking up a second yellow in added time. The win moves Newcastle up into eighth, and crucially just a point and a place behind West Ham in seventh. The Magpies will look to ride the wave of this incredible victory when they host Everton on Tuesday, while Moyes will hope his side can respond the same day with a game against rivals Tottenham. That is all we have for you from St James' Park, so thanks for your company and goodbye!

Soucek gives away a foul as the seconds continue to tick away. Newcastle are surely just moments away from victory now.

CLOSE! There's an almighty scare for the hosts as a Kudus cross reaches Soucek at the back post. The midfielder tries to chest home from a tight angle, but the Czech Republic international can only divert into the side-netting.

West Ham just can't quite get the ball high enough up the pitch to trouble the hosts at the minute. They need the likes of Bowen and Kudus to step up!
