That's the closest Manchester United have come to finding the back of the net. Rasmus Hojlund is played in by Lisandro Martinez, but the Dane sends his shot across the face of goal and inches wide.

I actually feel sorry for Joshua Zirkzee. He was bought for big money but there is a human being in there. He is essentially being cheered off by his own fans. He is has not been good but they have all been poor. You are watching the worst pound for pound team in the country.

Tyrone Mings is the next player in the book. He's not been on the pitch long!

Newcastle are having the time of their lives out there.

Wow. Ruben Amorim has seen enough.

Joshua Zirkzee is hauled off after 33 minutes and replaced by Kobbie Mainoo.

Tariq Lamptey may well have just stopped his side from going behind with a stunning piece of defending on Ollie Watkins. Great tackle!

What a brilliant save from Christian Walton at full stretch!

A super strike from Cole Palmer looks like it's heading for the corner but Walton tips it over the bar to maintain his side's lead.

How has Sandro Tonali missed there? He's got the whole goal to aim for as he runs onto a flick on by Anthony Gordon, but he's rattled the woodwork.

What a goal that would have been. Tonali will be kicking himself.

Alexander Isak blasts the ball across Andre Onana and into the far corner, but up goes the offside flag.

A huge 12 minutes have been added on at the end of the first half.

Leon Bailey does well to loft a cross into the box as Ollie Watkins does well to climb high and direct a header on target. Problem is there's no pace on the ball and it's easy for Bart Verbruggen.

Let's be real, Newcastle are hammering Manchester United. It has been a mauling in this opening 25 minutes.

A desperate attempt to get forward from Casemiro as he launches the ball forward.

I can't tell if it was a pass or a shot, but you're going to need something better than that to beat Martin Dubravka from near the halfway line.

We'll have five minutes added on at the end of the half.

Untidy from Ollie Watkins to give away a free-kick in a position where Brighton will feel they can cause problems.

Brajan Gruda whips one in but Watkins redeems himself and heads clear.

Marc Cucurella squares it across from the left and the Chelsea players are queueing up in there. It's Enzo Fernandez who gets the shot away but it's wide.

That Kieran Trippier corner looked like it was going to squeeze in at the near post, but Andre Onana scrambles across his goalline to punch it out for another Newcastle corner.

The Manchester United goalkeeper has to stay alert to the next one too as it threatens to nestle into the goal at the far post.

Simon Adingra skips past Ezri Konsa like he isn't there but there's no Brighton player able to connect with the cross because they're on the floor! Yasin Ayari collides with Tyrone Mings but play is waved on.

Nicholas Walker: Newcastle aren't having to play amazingly well either. Massive gaps in midfield and static defence
