West Ham United were beaten 3-2 by Newcastle United in the Premier League yesterday, and they will be disappointed with how they lost the game.

Unnecessary defensive errors cost them vital three points, and the defeat could be damaging to their top-four aspirations.

West Ham were down to ten men after just 36 minutes following a couple of mistimed challenges from Craig Dawson.

The experienced centre-back was sent off, leaving the Hammers to struggle to contain the Magpies thereafter.
