    When everyone in front of the defenders play so badly you deserve to lose. We've been awful today. Antony carried the only threat and we took him off!

    Oh, close!

    Manchester United almost snatch a leveller as Anthony Martial brings the ball down in the box and fires a shot that deflects just wide.

    No Casemiro, performance zero!!

    No one seems to have twigged that everyone is "so inconsistent" because there is huge strength in depth in the Premier League these days. All these managers like Brendan Rodgers, Patrick Vieira and Conte haven't become terrible overnight. We just need to adjust expectations of how easy it is to breeze into the top 4.

    Callum Wilson does finally make it on to the field, replacing Alexander Isak.

    We're into the last 10 minutes.

    Newcastle should have put this game to bed. They've been so dominant.

    Manchester United will get another chance because they're dangerous on the break.

    Chance!

    Joe Willock is on the charge down the left. He has players to pass to but goes alone and fires his shot wide.

    How has this stayed out?! Well, David de Dea is one reason.

    Newcastle whip in a corner that is met by the head of Joelinton but his effort is pushed up and on to the bar by the visiting keeper.

    Fabian Schar follows up with his own header, but this one is smuggled off the line by Anthony Martial.

    Frantic.

    The initial corner comes to nothing but Jadon Sancho is able to gather the ball and set up a chipped cross that Raphael Varane meets but only to head straight to Nick Pope.

    Manchester United have come out now and they've started to put a few passes together.

    When Newcastle drop off, that's when they're in danger and they're starting to feel it now.

    Signs of life from Man Utd. Scott McTominay's cross into the middle is headed behind by Sven Botman for a corner.

    Part of me hopes that'll spark something from Man United, but another fears that the floodgates may well and truly open now for the home side, because I'm struggling to see where that moment of quality is going to come from for the reds.

    Chance for Man Utd!

    Marcel Sabitzer is found on the edge of the box but he can't get the ball out his feet. It allows Newcastle to rally and Sean Longstaff gets in the way of the eventual shot.

    Newcastle look far more likely to extend their lead than see it wiped out. Bruno Guimaraes' low ball into the box is cut out.

    I've never known a season where the "top six" are so woefully inconsistent. Probably what happens when you stick a World Cup in the middle of a season. Looking forward to normality in August

    Are Manchester United at risk of not making the top 4? Poor performance

    Everything is going Newcastle's way. Jadon Sancho tries to get in down the left but Kieran Trippier comes across and whacks the ball into the Man Utd man for a home throw.

    Newcastle are really putting a shift in here but I don't know how long they can keep this up, there must be a time when United get a spell?

    As it stands, Newcastle are up to third, knocking Man Utd down a spot to fourth and Tottenham out of the Champions League spots entirely.

    This is a tough 20-odd minutes now for Man Utd. They've barely mustered a shot in anger. Now they have to find a goal against a bouncing Newcastle.

    Anthony Gordon and Joelinton do come on. No Callum Wilson, though.

    Allan Saint-Maximin goes off, his last act the assist for the goal. Jacob Murphy is also withdrawn.
