Jonjo Shelvey made an impressive debut for
Newcastle as he helped his side move out of
the relegation zone with a win over West Ham.
Shelvey had a hand in both goals as Ayoze
Perez curled in a low shot before Georginio
Wijnaldum side-footed in from six yards to
make it 2-0.
A stray backpass by Chancel Mbemba let
Nikica Jelavic score for the Hammers.
Newcastle squandered a number of chances
but held on for a first win in six league games.
Magpies striker Aleksandar Mitrovic produced a
hard-working performance but was denied by
Hammers keeper Adrian three times.
Missed opportunities almost cost the home
side, but keeper Rob Elliot kept out a 90th-
minute Cheikhou Kouyate header with his knee.
