Antonio's dipping effort just doesn't quite drop enough as the ball flies over the crossbar. That is the closest the visitors have come to levelling so far.

Lascelles walks gingerly to the sideline before making his way back onto the field of play. He doesn't look entirely comfortable, though, and the visitors will surely be looking to put him under pressure to see just how fit he is to continue.

Lascelles goes down for the hosts, and this could be another huge injury blow for Howe and Newcastle, who will still be reeling from the news that centre-back Botman will miss the rest of the season. It may have been a below-par campaign for the Magpies, but it's fair to say that injuries have been a huge factor in that.

The ball bounces nicely for Isak to smash goalwards, but he gets well underneath his effort and it soars high over the crossbar. He looks in the mood for more goals here.

When Newcastle score first at St James' Park, they usually go on to claim all three points, winning nine of the 12 home games in which they have netted the opener in the Premier League this season.

Well, it's certainly not the start Moyes will have been hoping for. A defeat here would move Newcastle to within a point of his side, and the Hammers have work to do now if they want to avoid that fate.

The penalty will stand!!! After a couple of minutes of deliberation, Newcastle will indeed have a spot-kick, with Isak standing over the ball...
