West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui was inches away from a guillotine, which was expected to be used on him after the Newcastle tie on Monday night.Alas, the Spaniard has survived, at least for now, and he has done it in spectacular fashion.The Hammers thumped the Magpies 2-0 on their ground against the odds on the wings of Tomas Soucek and almost forgotten Aaron Wan-Bissaka. The Czech Republic international opened the scoring after ten minutes, heading home a corner from the left.That early opener seemed to have bamboozled the hosts, coming against the run of play, as Newcastle were a much better side in the opening minutes.Aside from Alexander Isak’s early goal, which was rightfully voided due to an offside, Eddie Howe’s boys ran out of attacking ideas. The rest of the game saw the pendulum moving completely to the visitors’ side, as they were pushing for the second instead of the other way around.Lopetegui’s lot was rewarded for such an approach with the second one, eight minutes into the second half. Wan-Bissaka presented himself at St James’ Park as a versatile full-back capable of exploiting all the rival’s defensive flaws before finishing it superbly low into the far corner.He was considered a flop at Manchester United, and scored just two goals for during his entire five-year spell, and now he’s already got one after just a few months with the Hammers.Lopetegui has survived. The question is now – should Howe be worried about his own job after such a disappointing outcome?ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 12SaturdayLeicester City – Cheslea 1-2 (0-1)/Ayew 90+4 pen – Jackson 15, Fernandez 75/Arsenal – Nott.Forest 3-0 (1-0)/Saka 15, Partey 52, Nwaneri 86/Aston Villa – Crystal Palace 2-2 (1-2)/Watkins 36, Barkley 77 – Sarr 4, Devenny 45+1/Bournemouth – Brighton 1-2 (0-1)/Brooks 90+3 – Joao Pedro 4, Mitoma 49/Everton – Brentford 0-0Fulham – Wolverhampton 1-4 (1-1)/Iwobi 20 – Cunha 31, 87, Gomes 53, Guedes 90+5/Man City – Tottenham 0-4 (0-2)/Maddison 13, 20, Porro 53, Johnson 90+3/SundaySouthampton – Liverpool 2-3 (1-1)/Armstrong 42, Fernandes 56 – Salah 65, 83(p), Szoboszlai 30/Ipswich – Man Utd 1-1 (1-1)/Hutchinson 43 – Rashford 2/MondayNewcastle – West Ham 0-2 (0-1)/Soucek 10, Wan-Bissaka 53/
