Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe admitted he has no interest in the league table or Manchester United’s results after watching his side thrash West Ham United 5-1 at the London Stadium on Wednesday night. Speaking to BBC Sport,
Eddie Howe said: “I thought it was a tough game. A strange scoreline. It could have been different if they’d scored their early chance. We rode our luck at times. We scored some great goals. When we clicked into gear we were very good. It’s been a really good night. [It was a] really good performance from Callum. He’s an outstanding goalscorer and has been a huge player for us. I was pleased with the second half as we played with more control. We weren’t perfect. We’re not really focusing on the league table. I don’t know the other score from tonight. We’ve won, that’s the main thing.”
