This was about perseverance. While Newcastle could take satisfaction from recovering from a wretched first half by responding with a rapid double from Alexander Isak, West Ham finished the happier side after rescuing a point thanks to a brilliant late equaliser from Mohammed Kudus.
A draw felt right after an engaging battle between two sides digging deep after draining midweek exertions in Europe. Newcastle had appeared to be running on empty after their evisceration of Paris Saint-Germain, only to dominate the second half, Isak scoring twice in the space of five minutes to put them ahead.
