00:00 As time ticked over to 90 minutes, three points became one.

00:05 Finlay Cassie United is there, remarkable run of fixtures,

00:09 remarkable run of wins in the Premier League has kind of come to an end.

00:14 Can you be disappointed? It's hard to be disappointed after the highs of midweek.

00:20 Dumping out Manchester City, beating PSG, getting a point in the San Siro,

00:25 8-0 to Sheffield United, home wins as well in the Premier League.

00:31 It's difficult to be disappointed. Of course anybody's disappointed losing an 89th, 90th minute equaliser

00:37 in a game that kind of felt there for the taking, but this has been a bruising, gruelling few weeks for Newcastle United

00:45 and I think they'll be really happy when the dust settles to get through to the international break,

00:50 having got something here at the London Stadium. It wasn't a vintage performance, I would argue that Newcastle United

00:57 probably only really turned up for 25 minutes or so in that second half, but they scored two and could really have got

01:03 four or five in that period and put West Ham to bed, which essentially is what they did here this time last season.

01:12 They didn't this time, that was probably where the lack of energy, it was a sapping day here in London,

01:18 really, really warm, really sapped the energy out of the players. You could see that was very much pre-season speed

01:26 the game was played at in that first period. But look, it's a point gained, I think, when the dust settles,

01:33 rather than too lost, even though the nature in which the game played out, it feels now, as you sit here,

01:39 probably thinking it's too dropped. Star men from the day, I thought Dan Byrne was absolutely excellent.

01:44 He's actually added a little bit of attacking threat to his game now, where that was almost non-existent

01:49 for the previous 18 months. I thought Bruno was decent, I thought Fabian Schär was the standout man,

01:55 he was outstanding in both halves of football, even though Newcastle United weren't great in that first.

01:59 Kieran Tripp, yeah, he set the bar so high that we just kind of expect this kind of thing, and we take it for granted,

02:05 but they were absolutely outstanding.
