Hammers send Newcastle bottom

West Ham moved up to fifth in the Premier League as two Dimitri Payet goals sent Newcastle bottom.

Payet gave the hosts an early lead when he curled the ball past Tim Krul from the edge of the penalty area after Mark Noble`s low cross from the left wing.

The Frenchman grabbed his second with a rebound after Victor Moses had hit the crossbar following a fine run.

Newcastle struggled in attack and have scored only two goals this season, the lowest tally in the league.

The defeat leaves Steve McClaren without a league win since taking over at St James` Park in the summer.
