The first 26th round matches of the "Premier" league were played. "West Ham United" and "Newcastle United" shared points in the rainy London Olympic Stadium - 1:1. The match started very actively and both teams had opportunities. However, the goals came when the match calmed down a bit. In the 32nd minute, after a standard situation, Craig Dawson of the "hammers" scored with a header, and Joe Willock equalized the result during the added time of the first half. For J. Willock, this was his first goal in the current "Premier" league season after the stormy end of the previous season. "Newcastle" barely guarded after the ball barely crossed the goal line, which was enough for the result to be equalized. These matches were not lacking in emotions. In the last minute, "sharks" center-back Dan Burn committed a rough foul against Jarrod Bowen, and the "West Ham" defender tried to confront the aggressor, but the conflict was quickly resolved. This point will be important for "Newcastle" in their fight for survival, while "West Ham" missed the opportunity to rise to the top four.
