Newcastle’s hopes of securing Champions League football for next season are fast turning into a reality after a 3-1 victory over Manchester United saw them go fourth in the Premier League.
After lifting the Carabao Cup last month to end 70 years without a trophy, the focus has been firmly on getting back into the Champions League for Newcastle, and after Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Ipswich on Sunday afternoon, they had a golden chance to move into the top four.
It was a chance they weren’t going to pass up as Harvey Barnes’ second-half double saw Newcastle surge past Manchester United to claim a fourth straight win in the Premier League.
Newcastle, who were without Eddie Howe in the dugout due to illness, went ahead in the 24th minute after Alexander Isak brilliantly teed up Sandro Tonali, who emphatically volleyed past Altay Bayindir.
Alexander Isak assisted Sandro Tonali to give Newcastle the lead in their Premier League clash with Manchester United.
Manchester United were rocking and needed Bayindir, making his Premier League debut in place of the dropped Andre Onana, to deny Isak before Dan Burn’s header landed on the roof of the net. However, the visitors found a way back into the game as Alejandro Garnacho finished a slick counter-attacking move to bring the scores level.
Alejandro Garnacho equalised for Manchester United in their Premier League clash with Newcastle.
Ruben Amorim would have been dlighted with the character his side showed to respond, especially after their midweek exploits in Lyon, but he would not have been pleased with what followed as United collapsed after the break.
Barnes restored Newcastle’s lead minutes after half time, tapping home Jacob Murphy’s cross, before the former Leicester winger pounced on Mazraoui’s slip to drive through the heart of the Manchester United defence and find the top corner.
Harvey Barnes scored to regain Newcastle’s lead in their Premier League clash with Manchester United.
Harvey Barnes scored his second of the game to put Newcastle 3-1 up in their Premier League clash with Manchester United.
Newcastle were overpowering Manchester United and the pressure told as Bayindir’s sloppy pass allowed Bruno Guimaraes to add a fourth as Newcastle completed a first league double over United in 94 years.
After a victory that will provide a tonic for Howe, who was hospitalised on Friday after feeling unwell, Newcastle move a point behind third-placed Nottingham Forest and have the chance to go two points clear in third when they host Crystal Palace, live on Sky Sports, for their game in hand on Wednesday.
For Manchester United, who handed 18-year-old Harry Amass a full debut, attention now turns to next Thursday’s Europa league quarter-final second leg against Lyon at Old Trafford as they look to keep their own Champions league hopes alive.
More to follow…
Bruno Guimaraes scored to put Newcastle 4-1 up in their Premier League clash with Manchester United after a howler from goalkeeper Altay Bayindir.

‘Man Utd are physically and mentally a weak team’
Sky Sports’ Roy Keane at St James’ Park:
“It wasn’t good enough in the second half from Man Utd.
“That’s 14 league defeats now and we keep making excuses for the team.
“There aren’t enough players that can run in the team and that want to run. They are not enough of a goal threat either.
“You’ve got to dig deep, even when you are up against it, and they didn’t do that in the second half.
“We said at half-time that the big test was still to come for United. Newcastle are an outstanding side and they have got into a good habit in big games. Man Utd are the opposite.
“Man Utd are physically and mentally a weak team.
“Newcastle were too fast, too powerful and more determined. United couldn’t deal with the pace up front from the attacking players, and they got what they deserved.
“There was talk before the game on there being good signs for Man Utd and that they are getting better, but I can’t see it. I just saw another poor performance, especially in the second half.
“It’s not good enough and I worry for this group of players. They don’t look like a strong group mentally.”

Bit of a scary moment at Talladega on Sunday afternoon, as the tire handler for Carson Hocevar took a pretty hard hit from the incoming car of Josh Berry. Hocevar's car was canted out onto pit road, and when Berry came through, well, a touch of chaos ensued.The tire carrier, Jarius Morehead, said in a brief television interview afterward that he was fine after the hit. Morehead played college football at N.C. State. Here's him in a more favorable moment:As a safety, Morehead surely made a few hard tackles ... though none as hard as getting hit by a car. Fortunately, all is well; that's why pit road speed limits exist.
