Perhaps in order to concentrate the best force for the rematch with Lyon in Europa League in the middle of next week, Man United coach Ruben Amorim decided to use some players who are often on the bench such as Christian Eriksen, Harry Amass, Victor Lindelof or goalkeeper Altay Bayindir. In fact, for Man United at this time, no matter what formation is used, it will bring disappointment, more or less.
Sandro Tonali opened the scoring for the home team at St. James' Park
Faced with heavy pressure from the home team, Man United quickly revealed their weaknesses in all areas. The ball had been rolling for 47 seconds when the away team's net shook after a lightning attack from Newcastle. Luckily, the referee caught Joelinton offside, who headed the ball close to the goal.
However, Newcastle fans did not have to wait long to see the goal. In the 24th minute, from a coordinated attack in the middle of the pitch by Newcastle, Alexander Isak passed the ball smoothly for Sandro Tonali to volley decisively, defeating goalkeeper Bayindir.
Alejandro Garnacho brought a moment of hope with an equalizer at 1-1
Newcastle attacked more aggressively after the opening goal but Man United unexpectedly equalized in the 37th minute. Manuel Ugarte and Diogo Dalot combined and created an opportunity for Alejandro Garnacho to finish delicately, scoring the equalizer 1-1.
Harvey Barnes double sinks Man United
Newcastle continued to dominate the attack after the break and had consecutive chances to celebrate scoring. In the 49th minute, Harvey Barnes scored a close-range goal, putting the Magpies ahead for the second time in the match, leading 2-1. It was still the English midfielder who took advantage of a mistake by Man United defender Noussair Mazraoui in the 64th minute to score his second goal, deepening the gap to 3-1.
Bruno Guimaraes seals 4-1 win for Newcastle against Man United
No lessons were learned from this mistake and in the 77th minute, it was Man United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir's turn to make a mistake, giving Bruno Guimaraes the chance to score Newcastle's fourth goal.
Man United sinks deeper into disaster
The resounding 4-1 victory helped Newcastle surpass Man City to rise to fourth place in the rankings with 56 points. With one game left to play, if they maintain their current form, Newcastle has a chance to surpass the "phenomenon" Nottingham Forest to take third place in the Premier League, behind only Liverpool and Arsenal.
Newcastle is full of hope to compete for Top 3 of the Premier League
Chelsea, who are also racing for the Top 4, had a disappointing round. Facing the relegated Ipswich Town at home, coach Enzo Maresca's team only managed a 2-2 result after a difficult comeback. The Blues have now dropped to 6th place, although struggling, but still much better than their neighbors Tottenham, who continued to disappoint with a 2-4 defeat at Wolverhampton.
Liverpool won 2-1 against West Ham, creating a gap of up to 13 points over the rival chasing Arsenal in the second place. Coach Mikel Arteta and his team have seen all hope of catching up with their rival in the championship race.
