West Ham United were pegged back twice by Newcastle United yesterday at St. James Park, and the 2-2 draw almost felt like a draw given that the visitors were the better side in the final third. The Hammers attempted 17 shots, with seven of them hitting the target, and they will hope to be better at both ends of the pitch when they host Burnley on Wednesday. Michail Antonio opened the scoring for West Ham four minutes into the game, but it took just 13 minutes for Miguel Almiron drew Newcastle level.
David Moyes’ side took the lead 20 minutes after play resumed for the second-half, but the Magpies equalised again just 92 seconds later through midfielder Jonjo Shelvey.
