Newcastle dominated the game, with Alexander Isak scoring the first goal from a header in the close range, assisted by Anthony Gordon. The second goal came from Joelinton, who converted a cross from Anthony Gordon into a goal from very close range[1][2][4].
Manchester United, under the management of Ruben Amorim, struggled to find their footing, especially after recent defeats to Bournemouth and Wolves. The team was further hampered by the absence of key players like Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte, who were suspended. Despite the return of Marcus Rashford to the squad, he was limited to a bench role[2][4].
Newcastle's form has been impressive, with consecutive wins that have propelled them to seventh in the Premier League table. This victory could potentially move them into fifth place, surpassing Manchester City. Eddie Howe's team has shown significant improvement, particularly with the performance of goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, who has been praised for his recent performances[2][4].
