West Ham boss David Moyes was left disappointed after their defeat at Newcastle.

The Hammers blew a 3-1 lead to lose 4-3 in Saturday's early kickoff.

Moyes said, I'm gutted, absolutely.

"We are trying to challenge for Europe, we wanted to beat one of the teams close to us, and for long periods we looked like we were [going to beat Newcastle].

"We scored some good goals, but when we got 3-1 up we just weren't showing the elements of defensive duty which you have to do.

"It looked too easy today, but I have to say that so many decisions went against us today.

"There's disappointment, more than anything, that we didn't win the game.

"Ultimately we should have come away with points from the game and we didn't do so.

"The [second] penalty kick [awarded for Kalvin Phillips' foul on Anthony Gordon on 77 minutes] is a huge turning point, but I also thought we made a change [by replacing Michail Antonio with Phillips on 69 minutes] because we felt as if they had got on top and missed a couple of chances.

"We tried to give ourselves another midfield player at 3-1 up and we didn't want to wait for it to get to 3-2.

"Probably that decision didn't work on the day, but more importantly I think the boy puts his foot in front of Kalvin and I don't know how he's supposed to see his leg.

"The penalty kick makes it 3-2 and we had been doing OK. We gave up a couple of chances before that which I didn't like and they had started to get some control shooting down the hill, but we had another day when very few things went for us."
