West Ham Under 23’s finished off a great season by beating Newcastle Under 23’s at St James Park 2-1 in the Premier League 2 Play-Off Final to win promotion from division two to division one.

The Magpies went ahead in the nineteenth minute from a corner. It’s a deep delivery from the right, and left-back Kyle Cameron rises highest to head back across goal. Heardman is first to the header and taps in to make it 1-0.

West Ham drew level just before half-time as  Martinez scored for the Hammers, the Spaniard received a lovely pass from Dobson and smashes across the keeper to level for the Hammers!

In the second half, it was Martinez again! The Spaniard picked the ball up 25 yards from goal and smashes one into the bottom corner. Unstoppable!
