Newcastle v Manchester United LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as Magpies seal narrow win

Newcastle 1-0 Manchester United: Anthony Gordon’s second-half goal enough for the Magpies but Nick Pope suffer serious-looking injury

Ten Hag dismisses criticism with insistence that Man Utd team 'in development'

Anthony Gordon’s sixth goal of the season handed Newcastle United a sixth-successive Premier League victory at St James’ Park as Manchester United became their latest victims.

The Magpies, who returned from Paris St Germain in midweek bitterly disappointed with a 1-1 Champions League draw, dominated for all but the final few minutes and perhaps should have secured the points in more emphatic fashion with Kieran Trippier seeing a first-half free-kick come back off the crossbar.

However, Gordon’s 55th-minute finish - the fourth-successive home league game in which he has scored - proved sufficient to clinch a 1-0 win and send Eddie Howe’s side above the Red Devils in the table, although his joy was tempered by a potentially-serious injury to goalkeeper Nick Pope.

Manchester United, who had thrown away a 3-1 lead at Galatasaray to draw 3-3 on Wednesday evening, created little of note - they saw a late goal ruled out after Antony’s shot had clipped Harry Maguire in an offside position - as their run of five wins in six league games came to an end in front of a crowd of 52,214.

How long before Man United make changes in this second half? It wasn’t really good enough before the break.

HALF-TIME! Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

And there’s half-time! Newcastle by far the better side and struck the underside of the bar with a Trippier free-kick but it’s still 0-0.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

43 mins: Newcastle cramming the six-yard box. 15 of the 22 players on the pitch int he six-yard box from this corner - putting Onana under all sorts of pressure.

Great block! The ball falls to Schar who strikes it goalwards but Maguire gets his body in the way. Good work by the England centre-back

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

42 mins: Great interception by Maguire as Gordon put in a low cross. Another corner for the Magpies though.

CROSSBAR! Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

38 mins: What an opportunity. A free-kick probably about 20-25 yards out, slightly left of centre. Schar marauds forward and is bundled over by Maguire.

Trippier standing over it... OH MY WORD! Curled brilliantly over the wall, hits the underside of the crossbar with Onana unmoved and bounces out. How close can you get! Onana desperately gathers in the loose ball at that point but he was nowhere near that free-kick.

CHANCE! Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

34 mins: Trippier again involved as he feeds Almiron down the right. The Paraguayan cuts inside, shifts it on to his left foot as he gets into the box, wraps his instep round it but rather than curling into the far corner it goes high and wide. Almiron never looked comfortable with that.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

32 mins: Isak opens up his body and tries to curl one into the far corner with his right foot form just outside the box. It’s harmlessly wide though

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

30 mins: First set-piece for Man United to attack - a free-kick from out on the left. Fernandes and Shaw stand over it, the latter whips it in but far to close to Pope who easily claims it. Wasted chance that.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United

28 mins: It’s been a perfect start for Newcastle in every way but the scoreline - they haven’t been able to find a goal yet. Miley gets to the byline after a lovely Guimaraes pass and Shaw blocks the cross for another Magpies corner.

Onana gets a half-punch on Trippier’s cross and some follow-up defending clears the ball.

Livramento then shows his pace to get across and tidy up a ball over the top ahead of Garnacho as Man United try to counter.
