Newcastle 1-1 West Ham LIVE! Wilson, Paqueta goals - Premier League result, match stream, latest updates today
Newcastle made a dream start at St James Park but were pegged back and then held back as West Ham earned a deserved point this evening. Callum Wilson put his team in front after three minutes, shortly after Joe Willock had a goal disallowed for the hosts, and the Hammers recovered to level just past the half hour mark through Lucas Paqueta.
Newcastle dominated the second half but could find no way through West Ham's defence as they drew for the fourth time in five Premier League matches to extend their unbeaten league run to 16. Wilson had a glorious chance to win but his free header but fluffed his lines late on
Newcastle are on 40 points from 21 games, two points behind Manchester United who beat Crystal Palace earlier in the day. West Ham are on 19 points from 21 games, one point above the relegation zone. Read the game back below with our dedicated match blog.

So Newcastle finally concede their first goal in 574 minutes of Premier League football, but West Ham take a big point back to London.
Full-time!
19:23 , Alex Young
94min: That’s it! Honours even on Tyneside.
19:20 , Alex Young
90min: Downes comes on for Coufal.
Three minutes added on.
19:17 , Alex Young
86min: Newcastle continue to push but are just not testing Fabianski enough. West Ham just about doing enough as they look to keep their shape amid tiring legs.
SAVE!
19:12 , Alex Young
82min: Wilson has to bury that! Free header from Trippier’s delivery, eight yards out but straight at Fabianski!
19:10 , Alex Young
81min: Ings replaces Antonio for the final 10 minutes.
Anderson and Murphy are on for Newcastle, replacing Almiron and Willock.
19:08 , Alex Young
79min: Danny Ings is being prepared.
19:06 , Alex Young
77min: A brilliant last-ditch tackle from Aguerd on Wilson after the striker was thread through by Gordon.
Unreal defending.
19:04 , Alex Young
74min: You start to fear for West Ham as the Newcastle pressure mounts, but Moyes reacts by replacing Paqueta and Benrahma with Soucek and Fornals.
19:02 , Alex Young
72min: A huge roar from the home fans as Trippier wins a corner.
18:58 , Alex Young
70min: Here comes Anthony Gordon for his debut!
18:56 , Alex Young
66min: A chance for West Ham on the counter as Bowen flies down the left, but his floated cross is a little too slow for Paqueta to get a meaningful connection and Newcastle clear.
18:55 , Alex Young
64min: Botman has a wild pop from 35 yards which flies a similar distance wide.
Newcastle are very frustrated.
18:51 , Alex Young
60min: Joelinton again goes down near the area, bit more of a case this time but still not a foul.
18:48 , Alex Young
58min: Newcastle have started to wake up... but Joelinton has just thrown himself to the floor in the penalty area.
He smirks as he's booked for diving. That's atrocious.
18:44 , Alex Young
54min: Better from Newcastle. Saint-Maximin connects well with Trippier’s cross but his volley is blocked.
18:43 , Alex Young
50min: Newcastle still haven’t kicked back into gear. Joelinton shoves Palmieri over for some reason and gives away a free kick.

18:32 , Alex Young
Anthony Gordon and Danny Ings are warming up at the break.

A big second half to come.
Half-time
18:21 , Alex Young
46min: There’s the whistle!
18:14 , Alex Young
42min: Newcastle now the team trying to get a foothold. Burn floats in a hopeful cross towards the back post but that’s bread and butter for Fabianski.
Newcastle’s creative players currently being stifled.
18:08 , Alex Young
37min: West Ham are pushing and pushing for another but Benrahma again can’t find the finish, running through and firing low a good 10 yards wide.
GOAL!
18:03 , Alex Young
32min: Paqueta converts the corner at the back post!
18:02 , Alex Young
31min: West Ham on top now. Paqueta twice has a pop from the edge of the area; the first hits Bowen and the second wins a corner.
17:59 , Alex Young
28min: West Ham’s best move of the game as Antonio and Rice work the ball across the pitch for Benrahma to cut inside, but the shot is hide and wide.
17:55 , Alex Young
24min: Heart-in-mouth time for Fabianski as again West Ham’s defence is statuesque to let Schar nip in and lob the keeper, but the ball spins over.
17:51 , Alex Young
20min: Newcastle pinging the ball around well, with West Ham chasing shadows a tad. Saint-Maximin is found on the left to float a ball towards the back post, but it’s cleared.
Newcastle go again.
17:47 , Alex Young
16min: Burn isn’t afraid of throwing his body in the line of fire, and has come off worst this time against Paqueta. Lascelles is sent to warm up as docs give the defender a once-over.
17:43 , Alex Young
12min: Smart play by Trippier down the right, exchanging passes with Willock before chipping the ball into the area for Almiron, who gets a touch but can’t bring it down.
17:41 , Alex Young
10min: They are starting to do just that, now, the visitors, but Newcastle in control.
17:40 , Alex Young
7min: What a blistering start to the game!
West Ham need to just get a foot on the ball. They look shellshocked.
GOAL!
17:34 , Alex Young
3min: This one counts! Seconds later, Wilson runs through to score!
West Ham's defence nowhere to be seen.
NO GOAL!
17:33 , Alex Young
1min: Willock after just 38 seconds!
But the ball went out of play in the build-up so NO GOAL!
Kick-off!
17:32 , Alex Young
1min: Here we go!
17:26 , Alex Young
Here come the teams.
Almost time
17:22 , Alex Young
West Ham are looking to maintain momentum and keep themselves clear of the Premier League drop zone with a statement win this afternoon.
"The win against Derby was a boost and the clean sheet was good. We got a great win against Everton and want to build on it," said Moyes.
"We have a good side, but we have not shown it as much as we should have done. We are getting closer to the business end of the season and the last few games have given us something to talk about."
He added: "Winning is always the key. I would like performances to improve, but at the moment we have to pick up points. Hopefully we are moving in the right direction."

Newcastle are tonight aiming to go a club-record 16th Premier League game unbeaten.
Defeat today will be West Ham's 1500th in the league.

Over at Old Trafford, Manchester United hold on against Crystal Palace to climb above Newcastle into third place.
The Magpies will leapfrog back over them with victory here.
Big names return
16:52 , Alex Young
West Ham boss David Moyes restored his big names after making changes for the FA Cup fourth-round victory over Derby as Lukasz Fabianski, Kurt Zouma, Declan Rice, Lucas Paqueta, Vladimir Coufal and Said Benrahma returned.
Saint-Maximin returns
16:44 , Alex Young
Allan Saint-Maximin was handed a first Premier League start since August as Carabao Cup finalists Newcastle attempted to cement their place among the top three against West Ham.
The Frenchman replaced the suspended Bruno Guimaraes in the only change to the side which started Tuesday night's semi-final, second-leg victory over Southampton, while there was a seat on the bench for new signing Anthony Gordon, but not for Alexander Isak as a result of concussion protocols.

Score prediction
16:04 , Alex Young
While Newcastle might struggle to come down from such a high midweek, their home record is simply too good to bet against.
Newcastle to win 2-0.
West Ham team news
15:56 , Alex Young
West Ham will assess Danny Ings' knee injury ahead of the game. It is not a serious problem though and the striker is now in a race to prove his fitness.
With Gianluca Scamacca definitely out and David Moyes unlikely to risk Ings from the start, Michail Antonio looks set to lead the line once again after scoring against Derby. Kurt Zouma and Maxwel Cornet also remain unavailable.
Newcastle team news
15:44 , Alex Young
Bruno Guimaraes will miss the game following his sending off against Southampton, while Alexander Isak could be forced to sit it out due to concussion protocols.
Both Anthony Gordon and Harrison Ashby – who left the Hammers for Newcastle on deadline day – could make their debuts.
