Bruno Guimaraes scored the only goal as Newcastle United recorded an important win at West Ham United, boosting their UEFA Champions League qualifying hopes. The Magpies’ skipper slid in to turn home a Harvey Barnes cross shortly after the hour mark at the London Stadium. Eddie Howe’s side set themselves up for Sunday’s Carabao Cup final against Liverpool in the best possible way. Newcastle move up to sixth place – and two points off fourth-place Chelsea – while Graham Potter’s side stay 16th in the Premier League. Newcastle are now unbeaten in their last six Premier League matches against West Ham (W4 D2), since a 2-0 loss in March 2019 under Rafael Benitez. The win was Newcastle’s second in five Premier League games, while West Ham are now 16th, two points behind fourth-placed Chelsea. The Hammers have lost their last two Premier League away games (W2 D1). Newcastle have only lost one of their last eight Premier League home matches (W3 D2).
