Despite the seemingly even scoreline at halftime, Newcastle completely demolished Manchester United in the second half and climbed to a strong fourth place in the standingsEven in the build-up to this match, expectations were high—despite the gap in the standings between Newcastle and Manchester United. Just in the 4th minute, the home team had a chance when Murphy fired just wide following a mistake by a Manchester United player.On the other side, the Red Devils had their first serious action in the 12th minute after a beautiful combination with Bruno Fernandes ended in a shot from Zirkzee, but Nick Pope managed to save it and keep his net intact.Just want to give some praise to Zirkzee. A lot of people don’t know this but he’s one of the hardest workers in the squad, always doing extra sessions, has time to help with the youth and is a great personality in the dressing room.He was one of the players who helped Chido… pic.twitter.com/ZDRnS8vrB5— Sully (@SullyTalkz) April 11, 2025 The chances kept coming, mostly in front of Manchester United’s goal. In the 23rd minute, Isak had an opportunity when he headed just wide after a cross from Bruno Guimaraes. Just a minute later, the Swede was involved in creating a brilliant play, delivering a lovely assist to Sandro Tonali, who had no trouble finding the net and putting Newcastle in front. This was Isak’s sixth assist in the Premier League this season. There is the GOAL!MIDFIELD MAESTRO.

The siege of the Red Devils’ goal continued, and in the 34th minute, Isak had another big chance, but the visiting goalkeeper managed to stop it.Then came the 37th minute, punishing all those missed chances—Garnacho brought Manchester United level. Livramento was late to cover the right side, Dalot took advantage, delivered the ball to Garnacho, and he calmly equalized for his team.

Newcastle had been on the front foot throughout the match, and that momentum carried into the second half.The pressure paid off early, and in the 49th minute, after a brilliant move involving Livramento and Murphy, Harvey Barnes had a simple task—slot the ball into the net and restore Newcastle’s lead. There is the GOAL!2 – Harvey Barnes is just the second Newcastle player to score a brace against Manchester United in the Premier League, along with Alan Shearer in December 2000.

Manchester United struggled to cope with Newcastle’s relentless pressure throughout the match, and this goal was yet another example of that. You can see the goal HERE!The complete collapse of Manchester United was sealed in part by their goalkeeper Bayindir, who made a poor clearance. The ball struck Joelinton and bounced to Bruno Guimaraes, who found himself one-on-one with the Turkish keeper and calmly extended Newcastle’s lead even further.Believe it or not, this is Newcastle’s first double victory over Manchester United in 94 years, the first after the season 1930/31.
