Premier League: West Ham earn draw at Newcastle - reaction

Newcastle have a free-kick with the final action of the game surely. Cleared.

David Moyes will be really pleased with the character and the performance of his team.

West Ham defender Nayef Aguerd is named man of the match. I'd agree with that. He's been excellent.

West Ham are really holding on.

West Ham clear from a Kieran Trippier corner and the defender gets back himself to stop a Hammers counter.

West Ham make a late change as Vladimir Coufal is replaced by Flynn Downes.

West Ham defender Nayef Aguerd fouls Jacob Murphy and gets booked.

Three minutes added on.

Rice is communicating to his team, keeping everybody organised. He has been a real leader today, both vocally and performance wise. He has covered a lot of ground today with or without the ball.

West Ham rely so heavily on him and it looks unlikely he will be there next season the longer it goes on without him signing a contract.

Anthony Gordon has definitely shown flashes - that's not a Flash Gordon pun - since coming on. He gets the ball on the left and cuts in but the chance to shoot never presents itself.

Is this game just petering out? This observer says yes.

With Everton, Leicester and Wolves winning today, everything becomes very condensed at the bottom.

If West Ham can take any sort of result form here today, David Moyes would be delighted.

Danny Ings heads wide from Jarrod Bowen's ball into the box. It was a tough one though, the chance was never really on.

Great block by Bowen, he puts his body on the line and makes a great block for West Ham. We've got to the stage where I think West Ham would take the point, that would be a great result for them.

West Ham sub Tomas Soucek lands awkwardly in a leap with Callum Wilson and hurts himself but he's able to play on.

Kieran Trippier has created 40 chances from set plays in the Premier League this season, 11 more than any other player.

Kieran Trippier's corner is half-cleared to... Anthony Gordon. The scene is set for the £45m debutant but his shot is blocked.

Wilson has got to score. Trippier lifts into the West Ham box and it was a free header. Really poor defending from West Ham and Wilson should have won the game for his team with that header.

Big chance for Newcastle. Kieran Trippier whips in another high-quality free-kick and Callum Wilson gets free but then heads straight at Lukasz Fabianski.
