Rasmus Hojlund broke his 10-game scoring drought to seal victory for Manchester United in a thrilling Old Trafford encounter with Newcastle.
Anthony Gordon levelled four minutes after the restart and Manchester United needed a brilliant tackle from Sofyan Amrabat to stop them from going behind as Alexander Isak failed to finish a three-on-one counter. Newcastle need a final-day win at Brentford to be certain of a top-seven finish for the first time in two decades.Newcastle’s appalling Old Trafford record gets no better and on the journey back to the North East they will reflect on a chance missed to get the draw they craved.
Gordon certainly did not deserve to be on the losing side and must have impressed watching England coach Steve Holland with his direct running and invention. Newcastle United have won each of their last three meetings with Manchester United in all competitions, as many as in their previous 21 beforehand . The last English team to win four in a row against the Red Devils were Manchester City between 2013 and 2014.
Manchester United are unbeaten in their last 14 midweek home games in the Premier League , with the last visiting side to win at Old Trafford in midweek in the competition being Liverpool in May 2021 .
