West Ham boss David Moyes: Survival could go down to final minutes of season

West Ham United boss David Moyes feels survival could go to the last game after their 2-2 draw with Newcastle United.

Buoyed by their recent victory over Chelsea, the Hammers were rewarded for their bright start at St James' Park when Michail Antonio pounced on Jamaal Lascelles' loose touch to open the scoring, before the hosts drew level after Miguel Almiron converted Emil Krafth's low cross from close range.

The Hammers went in front for the second time when Tomas Soucek fired in from close range, but the Magpies equalised again just 92 seconds later through Jonjo Shelvey.

"I have to say the players are showing great fight and we're going to go right to the end," said Moyes. "This league could easily go right to the last game of the season - we understand that and we're prepared for that if it has to be done.

"But we're trying to make sure that we can do it as quickly as possible.

"We're in a group of games where we think we have got chances of picking up points. If you turned it around and we had got a point against Chelsea and three against Newcastle today, I think people would have said it was a great return."
