Alan Pardew: 'Newcastle United defeat was inevitable'

Alan Pardew admits that he is sad to see Newcastle's six-game winning streak come to an end via the 1-0 defeat at West Ham United at Upton Park.

Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew has admitted that he was disappointed to see his team's six-game winning streak come to an end in today's 1-0 defeat at West Ham United.

Aaron Cresswell struck the only goal of the game on 56 minutes to consign Pardew's side to their first loss since a 1-0 reverse at Stoke City in late September.

"I'm disappointed the six-game winning run has come to an end - at some point it had to," he told BBC Sport.

"It was a tight game - they had a major break on the goal. It probably decided the game. We tried to push the best we could."

Consequently, Newcastle drop back to eighth in the Premier League table.
