Newcastle, The High Flying Magpies
The Magpies are flying and playing some outstanding Football at the moment. The Carabao EFL Cup triumph after a wait of decades has propelled Newcastle’s confidence no end. St James’ Park, home to Newcastle, played host to Manchester United last night and as expected served them a tough meal to swallow.
Tonali Opens The Scoring For Newcastle
The football on view was of the highest quality. The enterprise, intent, pace, and skill exhibited by Newcastle in particular were exhilarating to watch, and though Zirkzee from Manchester United missed a great chance to score after a lovely move, S Tonali opened the scoring for Newcastle with a sublime finish in the 24th minute.
Garnacho Equalises For Manchester United
United replied with a superb strike from Alejandro Garnacho in the 37th minute to bring the match on an even keel. The honours were shared in the first half, but the second half was just Newcastle; such was their domination.
It Was Harvey Barnes’ Day At St James’ Park With A Fine Brace
It was Harvey Barnes’ day as the talented Newcastle midfielder scored a scintillating brace in the 49th and the 64th minute to put the Magpies well ahead in the match. The pace with which Newcastle played was a treat to watch, creating chances galore with deft touches and brilliant passing. The Magpies were much better than United, as the visitors just succumbed to the mounting pressure from the hosts.
Guimaraes Wraps It Up For Newcastle
Bruno Guimaraes made it 4 for the Magpies and closed out the match, giving Manchester United a good beating in the end with a 4-1 margin.
Newcastle Looking Good For Champions League
The win has propelled Newcastle to the 4th position in the EPL table, breathing down the neck of Nottingham Forest. The Magpies are just a point behind the Tricky Trees with a game in hand. Nottingham, therefore, will have to play out of their skins to keep the black & white stripes at bay. For Manchester City and Chelsea, securing the 4th spot and a chance to play in the Champions League would be a difficult ask. Newcastle’s performance and quality has upset the applecart of several teams.
The English Premier League is heading for an interesting finish.
