West Ham manager Nuno Espírito Santo secured his first win at the club on Sunday, as his spirited side battled back from a goal down to beat Newcastle United 3-1 at the London Stadium.
Goals from Jarrod Bowen, Lucas Paquetá, and a late strike from Tomáš Souček provided a much-needed morale boost.
The victory, the Hammers’ second in the league this season, lifts them off the bottom of the table, though they remain in the relegation zone.
Nuno’s wild celebrations and the outstanding performances of Bowen and Freddie Potts suggest the Portuguese coach has injected new fight into the squad, easing the immediate pressure on his position.
