Man Utd vs Newcastle LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as hosts clinch win in five-goal thriller

ten hag on injuries and Utd 0-1 Arsenal defeat

Manchester United kept their hopes of qualifying for Europe alive with an impressive performance against a determined Newcastle team at Old Trafford.

The visitors started the match the more aggressive side but it was the hosts who opened the scoring. Martin Dubravka was twice called into action to deny the Red Devils but their third attempt saw Kobbie Mainoo slipped into the box for a well-placed finish.

The response came after the half-time break. Newcastle started quickly again with Anthony Gordon showing desire to meet a cross and net the equaliser. The game was in the balance before Amad Diallo stepped up. A poor clearance from a corner brought the ball to him which he smashed into the back off the night.

At 2-1, both managers made changes but Erik ten Hag’s substitutes made the difference. Lisandro Martinez won the ball, Marcus Rashford drove it forward, Rasmus Hojlund finished it off. However United were in for a few nervous minutes after Lewis Hall scored a late consolation but they managed to hold on for the win.
