West Ham's Premier League relegation fears have deepened after a 3-1 loss at Newcastle means Tottenham effectively need just a point from their final two matches to send the Hammers down to the Championship. Goals from Nick Woltemade and Will Osula put Newcastle in control, while Taty Castellanos managed a stunning strike for West Ham.

West Ham will now be eagerly hoping Chelsea can do them a favour when they welcome Spurs to Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, live on Sky Sports, where a win for the home side would at least take the relegation battle to the final day. West Ham trail Spurs by two points, and with a 13-goal difference in Spurs' favour, their 14-year stay in the top flight is seriously under threat. If Spurs lose at Chelsea, West Ham will need to beat Leeds at the London Stadium and hope Everton win at Spurs next Sunday.

The Hammers' hopes of putting pressure on Spurs with a win at St James' Park were dashed by two Newcastle goals in four first-half minutes. The first was a result of Mads Hermansen's poor pass out, allowing Harvey Barnes to cross for an unmarked Nick Woltemade to turn in. The second was slick from the hosts, with Will Osula finishing off the move from Jacob Ramsey's pass. West Ham's defending was poor, prompting Nuno Espirito Santo to make immediate changes.

The game plan was out the window, the back-three set-up ditched, and Taty Castellanos was thrown on after just 26 minutes. The improvement was instant, but it was Newcastle who scored next, and again there was a West Ham error. From their own throw-in, the visitors lost the ball and then Joe Willock and Osula exchanged passes before the latter tucked in to make it 3-0.

That looked like being that, but Castellanos came up with an incredible response when Sven Botman misjudged a long pass forwards from Hermansen, lobbing Pope from 25 yards out. It was a stunning goal and rejuvenated his team-mates, but Newcastle regained their authority and saw through a win, leaving West Ham needing a big twist in the final week of the season to stay in the division. Kieran Trippier was given an emotional tribute in his final home game before leaving the club this summer.
