In a tightly contested match at the London Stadium, Newcastle United edged out West Ham United with a narrow 1-0 victory. The decisive factor was a goal scored by Bruno Guimaraes in the second half, expertly assisted by Harvey Lewis Barnes. This collaborative effort on the goal demonstrated Newcastle's ability to capitalize on their limited attacking opportunities with precision.

West Ham United struggled to penetrate Newcastle's defense, managing only two shots on target despite having a greater number of attempts overall. Their inefficiency in front of goal and lack of clinical finishing allowed Newcastle’s defense, which was disciplined despite conceding six fouls, to maintain the clean sheet. West Ham's inability to convert any of their three corner kicks into tangible scoring opportunities further showcased their missed chances to influence the match.

Newcastle's three shots on target were sufficient in a match where both teams displayed profligacy in front of goal, with six and seven shots off target for Newcastle and West Ham, respectively. Despite accumulating more fouls, Newcastle’s defensive resilience coupled with Daniel Johnson Burn's solitary yellow card incident indicated a controlled aggression that disrupted West Ham’s flow. This disruption, alongside effective game management, was critical in securing the away win.
