Just two minutes into the game, Newcastle played well into the West Ham box. The club fouled Google. His action had put down Google. As a result, the referee awarded a 12-yard penalty, which Isak scored to give Newcastle a 1-0 lead
But Newcastle also went backwards, only 10 minutes into the game, Lascelles was injured, the original state of having injured soldiers now have to add another person injured, then 20 minutes, PaquetáAntonio in the middle of the sudden a pick of the pass, the front directly on the reverse side of the success of a one-touch goal, so that West Ham chased down a 1-1 draw
As the game went on we could see that Newcastle had problems in midfield. They didn't seem to put enough pressure on West Ham. Maybe they were afraid of West Ham's hardness. In this attack, West Ham amassed three players on the left side of the halfway line so that Antonio could start to penetrate the defense up front, but there was no one to press West Ham in the middle of the field, resulting in Antonioá getting a completely free space, and the Newcastle defense seemed to slow down its recovery after Lascelles left the field and was dumped by the heavy Antonio.
These two teams didn't have a fast pace in the first half. Newcastle did have great skill and edge and West Ham were not afraid to press completely away from home. However, Newcastle didn't seem to pass and stack the ball well from the front to the edge. Apart from their own acquiescence, West Ham's defenders were largely in place. Whilst every collision between the two teams was not a high speed collision, they all seemed to be quite real collisions, players were down all the time and they had to rest for a while, so they played very slowly
In first-half stoppage time, both teams suddenly started to pressurize their attacks and Guimarr's 49th minuteães hit the crossbar with a 19-yard shot. At this point, West Ham goalkeeper Areola appeared to be a little injured earlier. Finally, on 54 minutes West Ham opened up a free kick in front of goal. Bullen sprinted to the right side of the box to receive the ball and immediately rebounded it back into the 45. Bullen followed up with a 13-yard shot from the right side, breaking the far corner and putting West Ham over the top
The goal was actually in the place of the foul, Kudus' hand swept Sch. äR's face making him fall to the ground, but the referee called a foul on Newcastle, SchäR was not up on the ground yet and everyone was slowly getting back to their positions. Surprisingly, West Ham suddenly kicked off. At this point, Schär is missing from Newcastle's center back, that's why Kudus easily gets space for a shot, but the referee thinks it can open up quickly, so no one knows why the referee awarded a foul to Newcastle
In midfield, West Ham replaced injured goalkeeper Areola with Fabianski.Surprisingly, the second half had only just begun. West Ham hit back when Newcastle opened the scoring from a corner.Kudus went straight to the half way line and crossed into the middle. The defenders failed to stop him, leading to Bowen charging up and firing in a 17-yard shot from the penalty area. At this point, West Ham led by two goals, 1-3. At this point, the game was almost decided
Newcastle immediately started to make a lot of substitutions, bringing on Almirón, Anderson, Hall, Krafth, Livramento, Willock, with the intention of strengthening the right side of the attack, but it turned out to be even more disastrous when Almirón, who had only been on the pitch for 10 minutes, got injured, and Newcastle were forced to bring on Barnes again, who had already made a couple of good passes in the West Ham penalty area, but Isak and the others kicked away. Almirón came on and made a couple of good passes, almost two assists in the West Ham penalty area, but Isak and co.
West Ham rested Antonio for Phillips in midfield inside 68 mins with a plan to control the field and counter attack. Newcastle made the substitution and the attack picked up, the attack pressed and had a number of shots on goal.Fabianski had made the save.Inside the 73rd minute Phillips kicked Gordon who ran out to grab the ball as he tried to clear it in the box.Eventually the VAR kicked in and a Phillips foul turned into a 12 yarder before Isak played in the goal.The goal was a good one but it was a good one.
