The morning of the 26th saw the Premier League battle ignited early. This season's Westham team showed an amazing explosive power, beating Newcastle 2-0 away from home, bringing a little bit of respite to Lubidiku, who is facing the pressure of dismissal. In this match, Westham played a representative game of the season, especially the right back Yun Bishaka, whose breakthrough was like rain in a long drought, injecting the team with a strong dose of energy and giving people hope that he can regain confidence.
After a season of massive reinforcements, Westham were mired in relegation. On the eve of the match, Lubidiku had only two substitutions left in his hand. In order to keep their jobs, the team went all out and the game was extremely close. Despite being overpowered by Newcastle at one stage, Thomas Souzik made it 2-0 on 10 minutes with a header from a corner and then on 53 minutes when Yun Bishaka made a clever interception in the box, marking the first time Yun Bishaka had scored in a match since three years and nine months, earning Westham three valuable points.
Manchester United spoke highly of Yum Bhishakar's performance this summer, "I was honored to score my first goal for Westham, the whole team did a great job. At the time I was focused on the box, started quickly and eventually put the ball in the net." However, Westham suffered a home encounter against Arsenal in the early hours of Sunday morning (1), with Lubidiku suspended for accumulating three yellow cards and unable to be on hand to guide the team.
