Eddie Howe explains why he didn't bring on Lewis Hall earlier in Newcastle United's win v West Ham

Eddie Howe has praised his substitutes for their impact during Newcastle United's dramatic 4-3 win over West Ham United.

The Magpies opened the scoring six minutes in when Alexander Isak scored from the penalty spot, however fell 3-1 behind when Michail Antonio, Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen found the net.

Howe introduced Elliot Anderson, Lewis Hall and Miguel Almiron from the bench before Harvey Barnes came on 10 minutes later for the injured Almiron.

Isak scored from the penalty spot again before Barnes struck twice as United come from behind to win for the first time this season.

"A brilliant advert for the Premier League in terms of the drama, the changes in the game and the flows of momentum," said Howe. "I have to credit the players in how they responded to lots of different moments and adversity.

"From 3-1 down, that looked a really difficult point in our season but they remained calm and kept doing the right things. That's an incredible win for us.

"I thought all the substitutes made a real impact, I thought they did really, really well. Very pleased for all those players individually."

Newcastle lost Jamaal Lascelles inside the opening 20 minutes and the introduction of Emil Krafth forced a defensive reshuffle with Dan Burn moving alongside Fabian Schar at centre-back while Tino Livramento switched to left-back.

Howe continued: "Yeah, difficult for us, especially losing Jamaal so early, we looked really good in the game and then I make a change that reshuffles the back four, and then it's difficult for us to maybe have the same authority as we had earlier.

"We conceded which is never a good thing for confidence. I thought we played really well in the first-half, we were dominant and had lots of chances but find ourselves 2-1 down. Credit to how the players and how they responded to that."

Krafth was hooked midway through the second-half for Hall. And Howe explained why he didn't bring on the England youth international earlier.

"The first change is a difficult one because Dan's played left-back for so long and we view him in that position but I felt he was the best one to go inside," Howe said. "I could have possibly brought Lewis on at that stage but I went for a little bit more height with Emil with West Ham's set play threat knowing losing Jamaal was a big blow to us physically.

"But second-half I wanted to give the subs a chance to get into the game and I felt we needed to because we just lost a bit of momentum at that time. When Lewis, Elliot and Miggy comes on, I felt they all gave us a big lift. Then of course, Harvey scores two goals. "The thing with Harvey is he's a goal scorer. He does score goals. You look at his statistics and record, it's incredible really for a wide player. We felt when signing him he could do similar numbers for us and he has just been struck by injuries and he's had a difficult start to his Newcastle career but the quality is there.

"The two finishes today were typical Harvey, not easy to score the first one although one-on-one. The second one, I hope will live on for a long time because at 3-3, he still has so much to do. It was a great goal."
