Newcastle United secured third place in this summer's Premier League Asia Trophy thanks to a deserved 1-0 win over West Ham.
The game certainly took its time to get going, but Newcastle found the breakthrough with the first shot on target in the opening 45 minutes, when Yoshinori Muto raced onto the end of a low cross to guide the ball into the far corner of u0141ukasz Fabiau0144ski's goal.
Felipe Anderson was denied an equaliser by the crossbar, while a combination of Jonjo Shelvey and Sean Longstaff saw a goal chalked off due to an offside.
Grady Diangana's introduction was a boost for West Ham, but the Irons just couldn't find a way back into the match and were forced to end the game as the losers of the Asia Trophy third-place play-off.
