Anthony Gordon scored a 55th-minute goal as Newcastle United outmaneuvered and beat Manchester United for the second time in just over a month.
Costly Victory
Newcastle clinched a well-deserved victory over Manchester United, yet it came at a cost as goalkeeper Nick Pope sustained a potentially serious shoulder injury during the match.
Match Highlights
Earning the win, in-form Gordon capitalized on Kieran Trippier’s low cross, tapping it in at the far post. The victory propelled Newcastle above their opponents and positioned them within reach of the Premier League’s top four.
Newcastle’s Remarkable Success
This triumph arrived just 31 days following Eddie Howe’s team’s dominant 3-0 victory against Manchester United in the Carabao Cup. The injury-plagued Newcastle squad showcased a strong performance throughout the match, creating multiple opportunities.
Newcastle’s Dominance and Historical Achievement
Despite missing chances earlier in the game, Newcastle persisted, and it was Gordon who secured the decisive goal. His partnership with Tino Livramento on the left side posed significant challenges for Manchester United.
Newcastle’s victory signifies a historical milestone, marking the first time in over a century that they have secured three consecutive wins against Manchester United.
