Newcastle Defeat West Ham to Climb to Sixth in Premier League

Bruno Guimaraes' decisive goal secures a 1-0 victory as Newcastle prepare for League Cup final against Liverpool.

Newcastle's Bruno Guimaraes scored the only goal in the 63rd minute, assisted by Harvey Barnes, to secure a 1-0 win over West Ham.
The victory moves Newcastle to sixth place in the Premier League, level on points with Manchester City and two points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.
West Ham, currently 16th in the league, saw their attempt for a third consecutive win falter in a match with limited offensive effectiveness.
The win provides a confidence boost for Newcastle ahead of their League Cup final against Liverpool at Wembley on Sunday, where they aim to end a domestic trophy drought since 1955.
West Ham's pre-match emotional moment featured Michail Antonio's return to the London Stadium after recovering from a serious car accident in December.
