Anthony Martial darting forward in trademark fashion and the Frenchman goes down in the box.
Referee Kevin Friend waves away the appeals.

Marcus Rashford (41 mins)
Manchester United turn it around in superb fashion.
Newcastle are not happy as Scott McTominay leaves Matty Longstaff in a heap on the ground after a hand-off to the face.
The move eventually reaches Aaron Wan-Bissaka on the right, who puts a perfect cross to the back post for Marcus Rashford to power home a header.
The VAR checks the McTominay incident, but the goal stands.
CLOSE!published at 39 mins
Man Utd 2-1 Newcastle
Oooh, Andreas Pereira swings a free-kick over the wall and towards the top corner, but Martin Dubravka makes up for his earlier error by getting across and tipping the ball over.
From the corner, defender Victor Lindelof volleys high into the East Stand.

Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 LiveWhat a finish by Mason Greenwood. It took a slight deflection but it rockets in off the underside of the bar. What a player this young man is!
YELLOW CARDpublished at 37 mins

Suddenly, Manchester United look a force again. Federico Fernandez is booked for hauling over Marcus Rashford down the left.

Mason Greenwood (35 min)
Special, special talent.
Newcastle get in a real mess at the back, Fabian Schar giving the ball straight to Mason Greenwood, not a good idea.
The teenager strides forward to the edge of the D and strikes a thunderous shot off the underside of the crossbar and into the net.
It took a slight deflection off the sliding Federico Fernandez, so would Martin Dubravka have saved it?
Probably not, had too much power on it.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 34 mins
Man Utd 1-1 Newcastle
Another midfield booking for Manchester United.
This time Andreas Pereira goes into referee Kevin Friend's book for a lunge on Fabian Schar.

Richard Fridl: You could bet your house on United losing tonight or a draw at best. Playing a team that will defend usually means a predictable game plan, predictable scoreline and predictable players doing predictable stuff.
Amrul Choudhury: Having a midfield with Fred, Pereira and McTominay is suicidal. It is the kind of midfield you would have as 3rd or 4th choice.

Andreas Pereira obviously wants to impress having been given a start.
But his radar is off at the moment, dragging another shot well off target.

Man Utd 1-1 Newcastle
Anthony Martial has scored in each of his three Premier League appearances v Newcastle at Old Trafford.
CLOSE!published at 28 mins
Man Utd 1-1 Newcastle
Manchester United have improved since conceding that goal.
Goalscorer Anthony Martial leads the charge and lays the ball off for Marcus Rashford.
The English international cuts in from the left onto his favoured right peg, but curls his strike way wide.

BBC Sport at Old TraffordManchester United needed that equaliser.
The Newcastle fans had sung "sacked in the morning" after Matty Longstaff's opener and questions about Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would be asked if United were to lose again.

Scott McTominay needs to be careful here.
On a booking, he drags back Miguel Almiron deep inside the Newcastle half.
No need and lucky to escape a second yellow.

The home side nearly get a quick-fire second, but Andreas Pereira blazes a drive over from the edge of the area.
GOAL - Man Utd 1-1 Newcastlepublished at 17:53 Greenwich Mean Time 26 December 2019
Anthony Martial (24 mins)
Leveller!
Better from Manchester United, working it quickly in the final third and they get their reward.
Luke Shaw picks out Andreas Pereira in the box and the Brazilian traps the ball dead for Anthony Martial.
The Frenchman looks up and takes aim first time, squeezing a shot in at the near post.
To be honest, that is a horrible mistake from Martin Dubravka, letting the ball squirm under him.

A defence of a top four team, attack of a top six team with potential to get better and a midfield of McTominay, Perraira & Fred... Better midfields get relegated most years.
Joe, dissapointed MUFC fan
Tell me what Ole brings to this team? What's his style? What's his man management? What top top players is he going to attract? There's loyalty and there's wising up to the truth.

Fred steps up from midfield and has a go from range, it deflects off a Newcastle player but thankfully for the visitors it goes straight into the hands of goalkeeper Martin Dubravka.
