Newcastle boss Eddie Howe delivers emphatic verdict after stirring win over West Ham - 'It tells us'

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe was delighted after his side came from behind to beat West Ham 4-3 on Saturday.

The Magpies were facing defeat after falling 3-1 down, with Michail Antonio, Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen all netting after an early penalty from Aleksander Isak.

But Newcastle summoned the spirit of St James' Park to claim all three points in arguably the best match of the season so far.

Isak netted a penalty to give them hope following a foul from Kalvin Phillips on Anthony Gordon.

And Harvey Barnes then netted a sensational brace to give the home side all three points.

It was a monumental win for Newcastle, who have now boosted their hopes of securing European football for next season.

And Howe has emphatically praised his players, insisting the victory speaks volumes about his squad and what they're capable of doing.

"It tells us we have some unbelievable professionals in there and we still have a spirit that we will never give up," he told the BBC.

"It is a game we will never forget, it was a pleasure to be a part of it and I can't praise the players enough."
