In the 24th minute of the match at St James' Park, Newcastle launched an attack after losing the ball at home by the duo Victor Lindelof and Manuel Ugarte. Alexander Isak passed the ball just in time for Sandro Tonali to run up and finish decisively from close range, putting the home team ahead.
The goal came to the "Red Devils" at a time when they were playing on par with their opponents in better form. In the 12th minute, the away team had a smooth combination in the middle. However, Joshua Zirkzee's powerful shot was excellently blocked by Nick Pope.

Newcastle took advantage of the opportunity to take the lead. |
The opening goal helped Newcastle play better. The "Magpies" completely controlled the midfield area and put great pressure on the opponent's defense. In the 34th minute, Isak had 2 consecutive opportunities to face the goalkeeper. However, Bayindir played well to save the "Red Devils".
In a game of pressure, MU unexpectedly equalized. In the 25th minute, Ugarte's effort to compete opened a counterattack. Diogo Dalot charged up the right wing, before passing to Alejandro Garnacho. The young star wearing the number 17 shirt unleashed a tricky shot that hit the post and bounced into the net, leaving goalkeeper Pope helpless.
During the away trip to St James' Park, coach Ruben Amorim made many personnel adjustments. Andre Onana was not registered to play after a poor performance in the European Cup. The Cameroonian goalkeeper was replaced by Altay Bayindir. This is the first time the former Fenerbahce star has been the main goalkeeper in the Premier League, after nearly 2 years at MU.
In addition, 18-year-old talent Harry Amass also made his first Premier League start. He was deployed to replace Patrick Dorgu as a left-back.
The changes mean Amorim are fully focused on the Europa League quarter-final second leg against Lyon next week, the only competition that can salvage the Old Trafford side's disastrous season.
In the first leg this season, Newcastle defeated MU 2-0. The "Magpies" are aiming for a double victory over the "Red Devils" in a Premier League season, something that has never happened in the Premier League era.
