Newcastle v Manchester United LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as Magpies seal narrow win

Ten Hag, ten defeats. Manchester United added to their litany of sorry statistics by moving into double figures for losses in a season as they were leapfrogged by Newcastle United. The league table suggests the balance of power between them has shifted, but Erik ten Hag’s team were also outrun, overwhelmed and overpowered by a side without the luxury of substitutes they trusted.

Not for the first time, Manchester United were wretched but Newcastle’s relentlessness felt remarkable, their response to the anguish of Paris Saint-Germain’s controversial 98^th-minute equaliser immaculate. Their reward came in the form of a close-range finish from Anthony Gordon and another notable scalp: seven days after Chelsea were demolished, Manchester United were buffeted into defeat.

For Ten Hag, it may have felt grimly familiar. Eighteen months into his reign, he is yet to record a win on the road in the Premier League against any of the eight best sides. His side’s preparations were disrupted, being unable to fly and having to brave the roads. And yet the problems with the coach were not confined to the vehicle. Manchester United looked disjointed, Newcastle United the well-trained team who were furnished with motivation and a strategy.

Anthony Gordon made the difference and any time you’re in a league with Alan Shearer, you’re doing alright...

THAT’S IT! Newcastle hold on for a well-deserved win. Anthony Gordon’s second-half goal enough to seal three points, although their injury woes deepened with Nick Pope’s shoulder issue.

Back to back league wins over Man United for the first since 1972 for the Magpies!

90+9 mins: Maguire playing up front now and wins a header but Dalot fouls Joelinton on halfway. Newcastle can waste a few precious seconds here and that should be that, I think

90+8 mins: Long attacking throw from Dalot, it comes out to Amrabat but his shot is well over the bar.

90+7 mins: Joelinton a yellow card for dissent. Finally a ‘tactical’ sub from Newcastle as Matt Ritchie comes on for Anthony Gordon.

The goalscorer gets a warm reception from the fans - his effort looks like being the winner unless Man United find a late hammer blow

90+6 mins: Fernandes whips it in, Dubravka comes for it, a slight initial spill but keeps the ball close and is able to gather. Good goalkeeping for a man who has just come on

90+5 mins: Great header clear by Lascelles as Fernandes whips in a Man Utd corner. Now there’s a foul on Garnacho by Guimaraes to give the Red Devils an attacking free-kick on the left.

They’re suddenly all over the Magpies.

90+4 mins: All United now as Garnacho gets to the byline but his cross is cut out. And Newcastle break through Isak. He weaves in and out before going down on the edge of the box under pressure from Amrabat and Shaw. But referee waves play on

90+1 mins: Nine minutes of injury time and Newcastle are starting to hold on a bit. A repeat of midweek?

Antony lunges in as Livramento breaks down the left and brings him down. Gets a yellow card for his troubles.
