Newcastle United’s hopes of playing Champions League football next season have been boosted after they beat West Ham 5-1. Following the huge result for the Magpies, we’re taking a look at the latest Newcastle top four odds.

It was another dismal night for David Moyes’ side with further doubts over their Premier League status ahead of next season.

Blunder after blunder, the Hammers didn’t help themselves as Newcastle took full advantage of comical defending.

Callum Wilson marked his return to the side almost immediately after he headed home inside just five minutes.

Then Joelinton who also returned to the side took advantage of a wide open Hammers defence as he rounded Lukasz Fabianski to double their lead. The goal was originally ruled out for offside, but VAR overturned the decision much to the delight of the travelling Newcastle fans. It was woeful defending from West Ham, which was the story of their night, and most

Moyes’ men did attempt to get back into the game when Kurt Zouma headed in from a corner, but their defensive woes only got worse as the game went on – leaving them no chance.

Another horrendous mistake at the back allowed Wilson to tap in his second goal of the game. Nayef Aguerd was caught in defence by Jacob Murphy, who put it on a plate for Wilson to make it 3-1 just after half-time.

Fabianski made another costly mistake after making some good saves in the second half, which allowed Alexander Isak to lob the ball into an open net.

Joelinton also bagged a brace as he made it 5-1 with a clever left footed effort in stoppage time, rounding off another special night for the Magpies.

Another huge result will have the Newcastle fans dreaming of UCL nights at St James’ Park.
