Revealed: The tactic used by West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo to motivate his stars ahead of their much-needed win over Newcastle

West Ham star El Hadji Malick Diouf has revealed the special tactic manager Nuno Espirito Santo utilised in a bid to secure his team's much-needed win against Newcastle on Sunday afternoon.

After a limp start to season, the Hammers have already waved goodbye to former head coach Graham Potter in a bid to reverse their uninspiring form.

The team sit 18th in the Premier League standings and will need to turn around their performances fast to avoid a relegation fight in the second-half of the season.

But Sunday's runout against the Magpies provided a promising first step, with the hosts the 3-1 victors at the London Stadium.
