Callum Wilson has continued his phenomenal goal scoring record against West Ham by breaking the deadlock for Newcastle United inside just three minutes at St James' Park.
The forward sprinted in behind the West Ham defence to latch onto a pass from Sean Longstaff and dispatch a composed finish beyond Lukasz Fabianski.
Wilson has now scored 10 goals in 12 games against the Hammers, including three in four meetings for the Magpies.
The England international scored his first career hat-trick in his maiden appearance against West Ham, as AFC Bournemouth prevailed 4-3 in a thrilling seven-goal thriller in 2015.
He also bagged a controversial 93rd minute equaliser for the Cherries in a 3-3 draw against the Hammers in 2017. Wilson cushioned the ball into the net at the back post with his outstretched arm, but it went unnoticed by the officials.
