West Ham United 3-1 Newcastle United: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Coral’s post-match review of West Ham United 3-1 Newcastle United in the Premier League on Sunday, 02 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

West Ham United secured a convincing 3-1 victory over Newcastle United at home, a result that might surprise some given their recent form. The Hammers had been struggling, losing three of their last four matches before this game, but they managed to break that streak with a strong performance. Key moments included an early goal from Newcastle, but West Ham responded well, scoring three times, including an own goal and a late strike to seal the win. Jarrod Bowen was particularly impressive, contributing significantly to West Ham’s attacking play.

This win was crucial for West Ham, lifting them from a run of poor results and providing a much-needed boost in morale. Newcastle, on the other hand, will be disappointed with their performance, especially after taking an early lead. The Magpies had shown good form in their previous match against Fulham, but they couldn’t maintain that momentum against a resurgent West Ham side. This loss could be a setback for Newcastle as they look to climb the league table.

Despite having less possession at 38% compared to Newcastle’s 62%, West Ham United managed to dominate the game in key areas. The Hammers were more effective in their attacking play, evidenced by their higher successful dribble percentage of 70% against Newcastle’s 47%. West Ham also had slightly more corners, with seven to Newcastle’s six, indicating they were able to create more scoring opportunities despite less ball control.

The statistics suggest that West Ham were more clinical and efficient with their chances, which ultimately led to their victory. Newcastle, despite having more possession, struggled to convert their control into meaningful attacks, as shown by their lower dribble success rate. The yellow card count was relatively low, with West Ham receiving one and Newcastle two, indicating a fairly disciplined game from both sides.

The match saw an early goal from Newcastle in the 4th minute, setting the stage for an exciting contest. However, West Ham quickly responded with a goal in the 35th minute, leveling the score and shifting the momentum. A crucial turning point came just before halftime when Newcastle scored an own goal, giving West Ham the lead.

The final key moment occurred in the 90th minute when West Ham sealed the victory with another goal, ensuring there was no late comeback from Newcastle. These moments were pivotal in determining the outcome of the match, with West Ham capitalising on their opportunities at critical times.

West Ham United lined up in a 4-5-1 formation, with Alphonse Areola in goal and a back four of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Maximilian Kilman, Jean-Clair Todibo, and El Hadji Malick Diouf. The midfield was packed with Jarrod Bowen, Mateus Fernandes, Freddie Potts, Lucas Paquetá, and Crysencio Summerville, providing both defensive solidity and attacking threat. Callum Wilson led the line as the lone striker, and this setup allowed West Ham to effectively counter Newcastle’s possession-based style, leading to their victory.

Newcastle United opted for a 4-3-3 formation, with Nick Pope between the posts and a defense consisting of Emil Krafth, Malick Thiaw, Sven Botman, and Dan Burn. The midfield trio of Bruno Guimarães, Sandro Tonali, and Joelinton aimed to control the game, while Jacob Murphy, Nick Woltemade, and Anthony Gordon formed the attacking line. Despite their efforts to dominate possession, Newcastle’s lineup struggled to break down West Ham’s defense and create clear scoring chances.

Jarrod Bowen was named Coral’s Man of the Match for his outstanding performance against Newcastle United. Bowen was instrumental in West Ham’s attacking play, contributing to their high successful dribble percentage and helping create scoring opportunities. His energy and creativity on the field were key factors in West Ham’s victory, making him a deserving recipient of the award.
