In the 40th minute of this afternoon’s Premier League clash between strugglers Newcastle and high-flyers West Ham, the East London outfit well and truly flipped the script to their own dismay.

Just minutes after Issa Diop scored a bizarre own-goal in a passage of play that saw Craig Dawson sent off for a second yellow card, Newcastle had themselves a corner on the right flank.

Left-footer Matt Ritchie whipped a ball in, but it went straight into the hands of Fabianski. No doubt to Steve Bruce’s delight, the usually solid keeper somehow dropped the ball in a real clanger.

That left Joelinton to react quickly and hammer the ball into the back of the net, making it 2-0 to the Magpies, shaping up a real upset.

David Moyes’ men may have cost themselves a shock spot in the Champions League with some foolish individual mistakes in a heavily favourable fixture.
