Declan Rice's second goal of his career helps West Ham United continue their fine form at the London Stadium with this 2-0 triumph over Newcastle. The Hammers move up to ninth; Benitez's side remain 14th.
90'
Three minutes to be added on!
89'
POST! Newcastle's turn to win a free-kick. Rondon steps up to take it from 25 yards... and his curled effort agonisingly strikes the woodwork, with Fabianski beaten!
86'
OVER! Snodgrass gets his free-kick effort up and over the wall but can't get it down quick enough to trouble Dubravka.
85'
Diame crashes into the back of Lanzini, conceding a free-kick in a dangerous area. Dubravka goes into the book for his protests.

West Ham break, with Anderson leading the charge. The ball falls to Snodgrass who tries a back-heeled shot but Lascelles makes the block.

WIDE! Almiron is leaning back and drags his shot wide from 25 yards. He hasn't been at the races today.
75'
Newcastle need a goal shortly. They're dominating possession but not in the areas that will cause much concern to West Ham.
72'
CLOSE! This is a much better delivery from Ritchie. He stands up a cross to Rondon, who heads it towards goal. It takes a deflection off Masuaku which takes the ball away from Fabianski's net and wins Newcastle a corner.
71'
Lanzini delivers a 'Rabona' cross, Newcastle clear and break. The visitors spread it wide to Manquillo who has Rondon peeling off at the back post but again the distribution is poor.
69'
WEST HAM SUB: Marko Arnautovic takes the place of Hernandez, who departs to a standing ovation from the home supporters.

SIDE-NETTING! Hernandez is beautifully picked out by Masuaku at the far post, but his first touch takes him away from goal and he can only slam the ball into the side-netting from an impossible angle.

60'
OVER! Snodgrass races down the right and delivers a teasing cross to the far post, but Hernandez is always stretching for it and can only hook it high and wide.
58'
SHOT! Rondon uses his strength to hold off a defender and fires a shot away, but Fabianski is equal to it.
