Newcastle defeated MU for the third consecutive time

Goal

Newcastle:Gordon (55')

Newcastle are in great form at home, having won 5 consecutive matches. Facing MU, the opponent ranked just above with 1 point more, the Magpies are determined to win all 3 points to temporarily rise to 5th place on the rankings.

The home team attacked right after the opening whistle and made the away team extremely confused. Diogo Dalot even almost scored an own goal after a misunderstanding with goalkeeper Andre Onana.

In the following minutes, Newcastle continuously bombarded Man United's goal, but thanks to luck and the dedication of center-back Harry Maguire and the diving of goalkeeper Onana, they were able to keep the net intact after the first half.

However, at the beginning of the second half, the Red Devils finally could not withstand the terrible pressure of the home team. In the 55th minute, MU played the ball incorrectly in their own half and Trippier stole the ball from Garnacho. The English defender crossed inside for Anthony Gordon to tap the ball into the goal to open the score.

With the opening goal, Newcastle immediately slowed down and gave the game to MU. However, the away team could not make a difference except for Maguire's goal being disallowed due to offside.

The final result of this match was 1-0 in favor of Newcastle. This is the third consecutive time they have defeated the Red Devils in all competitions. The Magpies temporarily rose to 5th place and are above Tottenham due to a better goal difference. Meanwhile, MU dropped to 7th place with 24 points after 14 matches.
