West Ham supporters staged a protest inside the London Stadium following their team’s 3-1 Premier League win over Newcastle on Sunday.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side earned their first home win in nine months thanks to goals from Lucas Paqueta, Tomas Soucek, and an own-goal from Sven Botman.

Despite their win, West Ham remain in the relegation zone, three points off newly promoted Burnley in 17th, with the two sides meeting at the London Stadium on Saturday.

The fans are unsurprisingly worried about the state of their club, with opposition to owner David Sullivan and vice-chair Karren Brady continuing to grow.

After the game, thousands of fans decided to remain inside the ground to chant "sack the board”, with the club's fan advisory board recently issuing a vote of no confidence.
