But although West Ham improved, it was still Newcastle who scored next, with Osula doubling his tally just after the hour, as Pablo miscontrolled to gift the hosts possession again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Castellanos quickly provided West Ham with the faintest glimmer of hope, dispatching a stunning volley from a Hermansen punt upfield. However, the goal of the season contender went down as a mere consolation as the Magpies held out, despite some sloppy play at the end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Taty Castellanos, take a bow. \ud83d\ude2e\u200d\ud83d\udca8<br><br>(\ud83d\udcf9 via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SkySportsPL?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SkySportsPL<\/a>) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1dEEqcFBAU\">pic.twitter.com\/1dEEqcFBAU<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Squawka Live (@Squawka_Live) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Squawka_Live\/status\/2056073485395357754?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 17, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-west-ham-stare-deeper-into-the-abyss\">West Ham stare deeper into the abyss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>West Ham had built up so much momentum in this relegation battle that it felt like they were destined to claw themselves out of trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the wheels have fallen off at the worst possible moment, with Nuno&#8217;s men losing each of their three games following that last-gasp win at home to Everton in late April. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s been a familiar tale for West Ham, who simply haven&#8217;t scored enough goals and have been so soft at the back, going down 7-1 combined during this three-game slump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Credit must be given to the West Ham players for sticking to the task on Sunday, and they came close a couple of times at St. James&#8217; Park after Castellanos had provided a glimmer of hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, they&#8217;d given themselves an entire mountain range to climb earlier in the match, which you just cannot do in a relegation scrap as desperate as this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The formula is now simple: given their massively inferior goal difference, West Ham must now hope that Tottenham lose against Chelsea and Everton, while also beating Leeds United on the final day. Otherwise, the 62,500-seater London Stadium will be hosting Championship football next season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">FT: Newcastle 3-1 West Ham<br><br>Tottenham remain two points ahead of the Hammers with a game in hand. \ud83d\udc40<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NEWWHU?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NEWWHU<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bet365?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@bet365<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Ad?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Ad<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zEaGh76QT1\">pic.twitter.com\/zEaGh76QT1<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Squawka Live (@Squawka_Live) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Squawka_Live\/status\/2056079491231846523?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 17, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-newcastle-enjoy-rare-feel-good-afternoon-but-changes-are-coming\">Newcastle enjoy rare feel-good afternoon, but changes are coming<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s been a pretty miserable season for Newcastle United, and yet, they remain in with a chance of sneaking European qualification. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of other results need to go their way, but this result means a win at Fulham on the final day could see them jump from 11th to as high as eighth, which is enough to secure Uefa Conference League football &#8212; even ninth could do that under very complex circumstances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of what happens, it very much felt like a transitional afternoon on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kieran Trippier was given a standing ovation as he came off late into his swansong St. James&#8217; Park appearance. Meanwhile, the futures of players like Anthony Gordon, Nick Pope and midfield duo Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali remain unclear thanks to various transfer and contract activity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s more, Osula netting a brace to extend his excellent form &#8212; five goals in his last six appearances and six across his last eight &#8212; suggests he could play a far more prominent role next season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Make that six. \ud83d\udd25<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NEWWHU?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NEWWHU<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/puSy8eoEhf\">https:\/\/t.co\/puSy8eoEhf<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Squawka Live (@Squawka_Live) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Squawka_Live\/status\/2056071542555992483?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 17, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a feel-good afternoon on Tyneside, but that&#8217;s been an all-too-rare occurrence this season.
