Newcastle United leapfrogged Manchester United into third in the Premier League table with a 2-0 win over Erik ten Hag’s side at St James’ Park.
While the possession was shared, Newcastle created 11 first-half chances, with Joe Willock missing two big chances. Sean Longstaff and Alexander Isak also went close.
Willock, however, redeemed himself midway through the second-half when he headed home Allan Saint-Maximin’s header back across goal.
Substitute Callum Wilson then made it 2-0 in the 88th minute when he headed home Kieran Trippier’s cross.
That’s now three wins in a row for Eddie Howe’s side, who have their eyes firmly on Champions League qualification.

Willock, however, redeemed himself midway through the second-half when he headed home Allan Saint-Maximin’s header back across goal.
13. Joelinton (on for Saint-Maximin, 68) - 7
Tucked into the midfield three like he’d never been away. Hit the bar with a header.
14. Anthony Gordon (on for Murphy, 68) - 7
Energetic cameo. Won the ball high and showed the work rate Newcastle witnessed during his Everton days.
15. Callum Wilson (on for Isak, 79) - 7
Scored only his second goal since the World Cup. A confidence booster to drive Wilson on for the rest of the campaign. Photo: ADRIAN DENNIS
