00:00Manchester United 0, Newcastle United 2 here at Old Trafford this evening.
00:06A rare win here for Newcastle, only their second in the league since 1972.
00:12Their second of the Premier League era and it was one that was absolutely fully deserved.
00:17For that opening half an hour, Manchester United were on the ropes.
00:21Newcastle 2 in luck within 20 minutes, Alexander Isaac and Joe Linton and it could have been a lot more.
00:27That was probably the only disappointment at half-time as Newcastle didn't have a stronger or greater advantage.
00:34But it felt like it could have come back to cost them a little bit because what happened in the 30th minute,
00:42Ruben Amerin brought off Joshua Xherxey and Kobe Mane who came onto the midfield and that stifled Newcastle a little bit.
00:49Then they had that chance at the end of the first half when Fabian Chairs gave the ball away,
00:53a great opportunity for Casemiro, wide and then they've had a chance when Harry Maguire has hit the post.
00:59But really apart from that, albeit there was a little bit of pressure from Manchester United,
01:04moments they could have got back in the game. So I think 2-1 might have been a little bit nervy.
01:08But Newcastle managed to avoid that situation and I thought managed the game really, really well.
01:12Bruno Game or Ice from the man of the match, 1-11 Newcastle were excellent to be able.
01:16Bruno Game or Ice, what a footballer.
01:19That opening half and how he bossed that midfield at the heart of everything, played a key role in both goals.
01:24And then that second half just really came alive. Just a clever footballer, winning fouls,
01:29taking the ball in tight scenarios and leaving pressure off his teammates.
01:32I thought he was a 9 out of 10 I'd give him, maybe give him a 10 out of 10.
01:37But yeah, excellent footballer and a real 10.
