West Ham United silenced doubters with a dramatic 2-0 win against Newcastle United on Monday, delivering what fans are calling a '🫶🏻therapy game' for embattled manager Julen Lopetegui.
Tomas Soucek’s early header (10') set the tone at St. James’ Park, but the real showstopper came from Aaron Wan-Bissaka – who scored his first goal for the Hammers with a solo sprint that left Newcastle defenders in the dust (53'). The victory lifted West Ham to 14th place, easing fears of relegation after a rocky season start.
😮💨 Newcastle’s misfiring attack – including a disallowed Alexander Isak goal and multiple missed chances – became the night’s subplot. \"We needed this like oxygen,\" said West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen, praising his team’s \"warrior mentality.\"
The result comes after weeks of criticism over Lopetegui’s tactics, with memes about his job security flooding fan forums pre-match. Now, the Spanish coach might’ve just pulled off a #PremierLeaguePlotArmor moment. Could this be the turning point for the Irons? 🔄⚒️
