Exhausted but Victorious
West Ham V Newcastle
Pattison opened the scoring for Newcastle with a 7th minute beauty. It took a long time for West Ham to respond, but it came in the 38th minute, and who else would have scored it, but Craig Bellamy? Ashton used fine finishing in the 60th minute to take the lead, and then slotted the finisher in the 71st minute. West Ham looked exhausted the whole game, but emerged as the superior team. Final score West Ham 3-1 Newcastle
