90 min +8: Willock draws a foul by spinning around Fernandes, who should go into the book for spitting feathers at the referee, but doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90 min +7: Tonali makes way for Botman. He\u2019s been magnificent this evening. But will he end up on the winning side?<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90 min +6: St James\u2019 Park is en f\u00eate. How much extra time with Peter Bankes add? The home fans are baying for the final whistle. But it\u2019ll not come yet, because Tonali has gone down with cramp!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90 min +5: On the touchline, Michael Carrick is the only local lad in the entire stadium looking downcast. He\u2019s staring down the barrel of his first defeat as Manchester United\u2019s caretaker manager.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90 min +4: Hats off to Trippier for the assist, by the way. His long pass down the right for Osula was perfectly weighted.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90 min +3: Maguire thinks he\u2019s won a corner down the left, but the ball has come back off him. Goal kick. Celebrated almost as though Newcastle had scored another.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90 min +2: The board went up for five additional minute, by the way. But thanks to the celebrations \u2013 Osula disappeared into the Gallowgate awhile \u2013 there is sure to be more.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90 min +1: That is an absolute wonder goal. Shades of Norman Whiteside in the 1985 FA Cup final! Except this time the work of genius goes against Manchester United<\/a>.<\/p>\n Sensational from Osula. Photograph: Lee Smith\/Action Images\/ReutersShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a017.16 EST<\/p>\n GOAL! Newcastle United 2-1 Manchester United (Osula 90)<\/p>\n This is a stunning solo goal! Osula chases after a long pass down the right touchline. He only just manages to keep it in play. He only just manages to stay on his feet while doing that. He then drifts infield, dropping a shoulder to get past Malacia, then using Maguire as a shield to curl an unstoppable effort across Lammens and into the left-hand side of the net! Wow!<\/p>\n What a goal from Will Osula! Photograph: Scott Heppell\/ReutersShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a017.15 EST<\/p>\n 89 min: Zirkzee sends an absolute pearler, rising then dipping towards the top right. It\u2019s heading in, but Ramsdale tips around and over. Sensational play all round. The resulting corner comes to nothing.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 88 min: Zirkzee dribbles dangerously down the middle. He can\u2019t get a shot away but the ball breaks to Sesko, who has a dig that\u2019s blocked the second it\u2019s taken. Then another whack, this time by Ugarte. All of a sudden, the visitors have gone up a few gears, and the hosts can\u2019t get out.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 86 min: The xG advances. It\u2019s 2.16 to 1.07.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 85 min: Newcastle replace Gordon and Elanga with Osula and Jacob Murphy. Manchester United<\/a> also make a change, Mazraoui having picked up a knock. He\u2019s replaced by Malacia.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 84 min: Fernandes has been Manchester United\u2019s best player this evening. As he so often is. He swings a deep ball in from the right. Zirkzee battles with Trippier just to the left of the goal, near the byline. He looks to have won a corner, but the offside flag goes up.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 83 min: Cunha dances his way down the inside-left channel and flicks a clever ball back into the road of Fernandes, who aims a first-time effort towards the top right. Always high and wide, but not by a huge distance. That would have been a lovely goal.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 81 min: \u2026 and now Dalot pulls Gordon\u2019s shirt. Gordon, who was shielding the ball near his own corner flag, takes the opportunity to go down and eat up some clock. \u201cManchester United, are playing with a man extra, let\u2019s not forget,\u201d writes Justin Kavanagh. \u201cAlthough, in the eyes of all Toon fans, that man is Peter Bankes.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 79 min: Tonali swings the free kick in from the left. Lammens punches clear with confidence, under some pressure as well. Manchester United<\/a> counter. Cunha goes past Trippier on the left and goes over. The referee books the Newcastle captain, who insists there was no contact, and tells it as he sees it to his opponent. An edge developing again as we move towards Business Time.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 78 min: Play doesn\u2019t restart immediately, as Ramsdale stays down stretching his leg. He eventually gets back up and takes his goal kick, after which Willock draws a foul from Dalot down the left. A free kick in a dangerous position. The home side load the Manchester United<\/a> box.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 77 min: Diallo and Zirkzee replace Mainoo and Mbeumo.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 76 min: \u2026 but Manchester United<\/a> come again, through Fernandes again. He curls in from the right. Ugarte loops a header over Ramsdale but also over the bar. For the first time in a long while, the visitors are getting on top.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 75 min: Ugarte barrels after a long pass down the right. Burn telescopes a long leg to divert the ball out for a corner, then celebrates with his fans in the modern style. The set piece is half cleared, but wedged back in from the left-hand edge of the D by Fernandes, whose influence is growing. Yoro should score from six yards, but heads straight at Ramsdale, who nevertheless parries well. Newcastle clear.<\/p>\n Leny Yoro sees his header well saved by Aaron Ramsdale. Photograph: Richard Lee\/ShutterstockShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.58 EST<\/p>\n 73 min: Manchester United<\/a> apply some pressure for the first time in the half. Mbeumo and Dalot take half-swipes at a loose ball in the Newcastle box; Fernandes swings a ball in from the left that Sesko fails to read. But that\u2019s better from the visitors.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 71 min: The xG is now 1.8 to 0.64.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 70 min: An awful lot of space for Mazraoui, 25 yards out. He has to take a shot. Which he eventually does, but only after thinking about things for far too long. Blocked.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 68 min: According to TNT Sports, Michael Carrick is demanding his players take it up a notch. They\u2019ve certainly been curiously ponderous in this second half.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 66 min: From the left, Tonali sends the corner long. Everyone charges to the near post \u2026 except Gordon, who has peeled off, and sticks out a leg, unchallenged, six yards out. But he can\u2019t keep the shot on target. That would have been a lovely set-piece goal. It was a very clever move. Note to Arne: set plays can be beautiful too.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 65 min: Tonali sends a lovely dipping ball to the far stick. The ball brushes Dalot and flies out for a corner. Gordon claims handball and a penalty \u2026 and VAR checks \u2026 then VAR clears. It was never a spot kick.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 64 min: Elanga dribbles in from the right and is scythed down just outside the box by Mazraoui, who goes into the book \u2026 after a fashion. Peter Bankes, you old tease. A free kick in a dangerous position. Tonali to send it in.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 63 min: This second half hasn\u2019t quite taken off as expected. Newcastle will be more than happy about that. Manchester United<\/a> have let the pace drop, and haven\u2019t had a shot on target since the restart.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 61 min: Manchester United<\/a> make a double change, replacing Casemiro and Shaw with Ugarte and Dalot.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 60 min: Fernandes slides a cute ball down the inside-left channel for Mbeumo, who momentarily finds himself in a bit of space by the left-hand edge of the six-yard box. But he can\u2019t get a shot away, and eventually squirts the ball out for a goal kick. He should have done better. What a defence-splitter from Manchester United\u2019s captain, though.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 58 min: Mbeumo swivel-hacks the corner clear. But the ball comes straight back at Manchester United<\/a>, and Maguire slices into touch. This is a staunch start to the half by Newcastle in the circumstances, even if they\u2019ve not tested Lammens.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 57 min: Willock scampers down the right and wins a corner off Mainoo, who was forced into a last-ditch block tackle. Trippier wanders over to take the set piece.<\/p>\n Joe Willock scampers away from Kobbie Mainoo. Photograph: Lee Smith\/Action Images\/ReutersShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.42 EST<\/p>\n 55 min: As the ball sails into the box, Burn idiotically shoves Maguire in the back. The whistle goes to release the pressure on Manchester United<\/a>. What was the point? A good opportunity for the ten men to get an effort on goal is needlessly thrown away.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 54 min: Casemiro clips Joelinton from behind, 35 yards out. The home fans bay for a yellow card. The referee resists. Trippier prepares to swing the free kick into the mixer.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 53 min: Gordon makes himself a little pocket of space just to the right of the Manchester United<\/a> D. He zips a shot towards the bottom right, but Lammens is behind it all the way. Nowhere near enough power to surprise the keeper.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 51 min: Cunha has the opportunity to release Fernandes into the Toon box down the left. He then hesitates before rolling a dismal pass out for a goal kick. The home fans in slightly better mood having witnessed that.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 50 min: Mazraoui skittles Gordon on the halfway line. The referee pauses before blowing for the free kick, not helping the collective mood in the stadium.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 48 min: Mbeumo sprays a poor cross out of play from the right. Goal kick.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 47 min: A scrappy start to the half. Manchester United<\/a> seeing more of the ball, setting what may be a pattern as 11 men take on ten.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Newcastle get the ball rolling for the second half. St James\u2019 Park on a rolling boil. One way or another, this is going to be interesting.<\/p>\n Anthony Elanga of Newcastle United closed down from Luke Shaw as we get back underway. Photograph: Craig Cowan\/ProSports\/ShutterstockShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.30 EST<\/p>\n Manchester United, then the referee, emerge from the tunnel to boos. Newcastle are going to swap out Barnes for Willock.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n On TNT Sports, both pundits, Shay Given and Owen Hargreaves, think the second yellow shown to Jacob Ramsey was \u201charsh\u201d. The former thinks there might have been a little bit of contact; the latter doesn\u2019t, and notes that the player taking a step or two after passing the keeper was the deciding factor, but still isn\u2019t sold on the idea of simulation. Other views will be available on the internet, as we can illustrate by dipping into our half-time postbag \u2026<\/p>\n \u201cNot sure Ramsay did anything to \u2018claim\u2019 a penalty, Scott – bit misleading, that\u201d \u2013 Mark Robertson<\/p>\n \u201cThat was a clear dive from Ramsey. Correct, and brave decision from the referee\u201d \u2013 Joshua Keeling<\/p>\n \u2026 and as for the equaliser \u2026<\/p>\n \u201cThere was nearly ten minutes of additional time played for three given, with not an inordinate amount of delay between VAR, the penalty and the celebrations. I was expecting the whistle to go for the break when Cunha had the ball at the halfway line, ninety-odd seconds before the freekick. We got a long old stretch at the end and I thinkin Newcastle fans are entitled to be absolutely livid over it\u201d \u2013 Christopher Faherty<\/p>\n It\u2019s going to be an entertaining second half.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n The xG after that whirlwind end to the first half: Newcastle United 1.25, Manchester United<\/a> 0.64.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Half-time ad break. The Guardian has kicked off a new chapter in puzzles with the launch of its first daily football game<\/a>, On the ball. It is now live in the app for both iOS and Android \u2026 so what are you waiting for?<\/p>\n Share<\/a>HALF TIME: Newcastle United 1-1 Manchester United<\/p>\n The whistle goes. Boos ring around the famous old stadium. Newcastle captain Trippier wants a word with referee Peter Bankes, who tells him to bugger off. A bit of jostling as everyone goes down the tight tunnel. That, as the old saying goes, escalated quickly.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.12 EST<\/p>\n GOAL! Newcastle United 1-1 Manchester United (Casemiro 45+8)<\/p>\n Fernandes curls the free kick towards the near post. Casemiro gets ahead of Hall, and flicks a header across Ramsdale and in!<\/p>\n Casemiro levels for the away side! Photograph: George Wood\/Getty ImagesShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.15 EST<\/p>\n 45 min +7: Play goes on and on. Gordon and Barnes nearly open Manchester United<\/a> up down the left. Then Hall brings down Mazraoui on the right. And from the free kick \u2026<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL! Newcastle United 1-0 Manchester United (Gordon 45+5 pen)<\/p>\n Gordon slams the penalty down the middle. Through the legs of Lammens, who was diving away!<\/p>\n Anthony Gordon slots it straight down the middle.

He enters the box, and is clipped from behind by Fernandes! Manchester United\u2019s captain feigns innocence, but it\u2019s a spot kick all the way, knee on thigh. Gordon will take the penalty himself.<\/p>\n Anthony Gordon is bundled over by Bruno Fernandes. Penalty. Photograph: Stu Forster\/Getty ImagesShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.08 EST<\/p>\n RED CARD: Ramsey (Newcastle)<\/p>\n 45 min +1: Gordon flicks a ball down the inside-right channel for Ramsey. Lammens gets there just in time. Ramsey goes over the keeper\u2019s arm, and claims a penalty. But the referee thinks there\u2019s no contact, and shows the Newcastle man a second yellow, for diving! Off he goes!<\/p>\n Jacob Ramsey is sent off for \u2018simulation\u2019. Photograph: Owen Humphreys\/PAShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.06 EST<\/p>\n 45 min: Speaking of that composure \u2026 Cunha has a shot from the left-hand edge of the Newcastle D. Ramsdale parries. The rebound clanks off Burn, and tees up Mbeumo, who has to score \u2026 but blazes wildly into the Gallowgate!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 44 min: Mainoo gives the ball away. Then Joelinton passes out for a throw. Composure please, gentlemen.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 42 min: \u2026 and to further illustrate that point, Mainoo, just to the right of the Newcastle D, curls a first-time outswinger towards the top left. Ramsdale claws it out. Great play all around.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 41 min: Elanga gets in ahead of Shaw down the right. His low cross is flicked softly by Barnes, allowing Lammens an easy claim at the near post. Had Barnes left it, Burn might have connected, six yards out. Everything in this game so far has been nearly as opposed to just so.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 39 min: Joelinton sticks an arm around Cunha, who was going nowhere in particular deep in his own half, and hauls him back. It\u2019s a no-brainer of a booking. Joelinton sticks both hands in the air and applauds the referee sarcastically, and wants to watch himself. Tonali tells him to pack it in. Then Burn shoulders Sesko on the edge of the Newcastle box. Strangled calls for a penalty, but come on. When play moves on, Shaw hauls back Elanga and also goes into the book. Sixty seconds of the hottest admin-infused action!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 37 min: Mbeumo is rightly booked for taking down an in-flight Hall.<\/p>\n
