Newcastle is in extremely good form at home, having won 5 consecutive matches. Facing MU, the opponent is ranked right 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 immediately after the opening whistle and made the away team extremely confused. Even Diogo Dalot almost burned his own net after an incomprehensible play with goalkeeper Andre Onana.

In the following minutes, Newcastle continuously bombarded Man United’s goal, but thanks to the luck and diligence of midfielder Harry Maguire and the dives of goalkeeper Onana, they were able to preserve the net 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 deployed a foul ball in their own half and Trippier stole the ball from Garnacho’s feet. The English defender stretched inside for Anthony Gordon to tap the ball into the goal to open the score.

Having scored the goal to break the deadlock, Newcastle immediately slackened and gave the game to MU. However, the away team could not make a difference other than Maguire’s goal being denied due to offside.

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