Dan Burn is loving this. After the ball goes out for a throw on the far side, he pumps his fists to wind the crowd up.

Pffft! Revenge for the Carabao Cup defeat? I'm a fit 60, and I bet I could put a better shift in than this Man U lot!

Newcastle 2-0 Man Utd
Almost 3-0!
Newcastle drive forward through Fabian Schar. He finds Bruno Guimaraes and carries on into the box to meet the low return ball but can only poke wide of the goal.

Manchester United have been disappointing today, he's [Erik ten Hag] tried to give players rest time but with so many games ahead, it will be interesting to see how they play.
Newcastle look so much sharper and fresher today.

It is all smiles down on the Newcastle bench now as Alexander Isak and Joe Willock share a joke.

In fairness, David de Gea and the United back four have done fairly okay today. Unfortunately, the midfield and attack have been virtually non-existent for the last four domestic games. Only one deserved winner here.

2 goals from 2 yards out…. And we’ve had to listen to this nonsense that United defence this season is the best thing since sliced bread!

Tame.
Marcus Rashford has barely been in this game and he sums up his afternoon by rolling a harmless pass straight to Nick Pope from just inside the box.

Ten Hag’s decision to sub off both centre backs has… completely unexpectedly… meant that Man U are struggling to defend set pieces.

St James' Park is absolutely bouncing now.
There will be five added minutes.

It was a great ball in, Wilson gets up early and De Gea has no chance.
Terrific header!
Newcastle thoroughly deserve this 2-0 lead. They've kept asking questions and they've got their rewards.
Newcastle 2-0 Man Utd
Wonder if Erik ten Hag is now regretting taking off his two starting centre-backs?
Callum Wilson
Game over!
Callum Wilson gets his first goal since February. It is a fine one, too, as he rises amongst a group of players in the middle to meet a free-kick and glance the ball home.
That wraps up the points for Newcastle and it is fully deserved too.

Good play from Newcastle again, they have the hunger and desire to get the ball and do something with it.
Shaw did so well putting Burn off to miss his header.
Newcastle 1-0 Man Utd
Dan Burn is tall, but he's not quite tall enough to stretch and reach a cross from Elliott Anderson and head on target. He can only glance it wide.
Newcastle 1-0 Man Utd
What is going on here?
Lisandro Martinez is punching the chairs on the Man Utd bench.
There is also some angry words being thrown about between the two sets of coaches. Looks like the Man Utd lads aren't happy at how long Nick Pope took on a goal-kick.
Newcastle 1-0 Man Utd
Victor Lindelof's first touch is to rise at the near post and glance a header over.
Newcastle 1-0 Man Utd
Erik ten Hag sends on Fred, Facundo Pellestri and Victor Lindelof in search of parity.
Scott McTominay, Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane are off. That's both starting centre-backs for Man Utd off.
Goalscorer Joe Willock is off for Newcastle. He is limping. On comes Elliott Anderson.
