FOOTBALL – Newcastle United’s Bruno Guimaraes poked home the only goal in a 1-0 win at West Ham United that lifted his side into sixth place in the Premier League last night.
The Brazilian applied the finishing touch from close range to a pass by Harvey Barnes in the 63rd minute and it proved enough to secure the points.
It was an impressive display by Newcastle who would have one eye on Sunday’s League Cup final against Liverpool at Wembley.
West Ham were seeking a third league win in a row but were disappointing and managed only a couple of efforts on target.
Newcastle have 47 points from 28 games, level with Manchester City and two points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.
West Ham remained in 16th place with 33 points.
