Newcastle United defeated Manchester United 4-1 to climb into fourth place in the Premier League table on Sunday.
Harvey Barnes struck twice after the break, Alejandro Garnacho cancelled out Sandro Tonali’s opener, with Bruno Guimaraes’ late strike.
The Magpies claimed a fourth-successive league win to leave themselves just a point behind third-placed Nottingham Forest with a game in hand.

United boss Ruben Amorim handed goalkeeper Altay Bayindir a league debut in place of the error-prone Andre Onana.
Newcastle went 1-0 ahead in the 24th-minute when Trippier slid the ball into Alexander Isak’s feet and he teed it up before clipping a pass into the run of Tonali, who volleyed sweetly past Bayindir.

United equalised in the 37th minute when Manuel Ugarte played in Diogo Dalot and he sped upfield before feeding Garnacho to shoot across Pope and in off the foot of the post.
Pope denied Garnacho a second at the end of another pacy break as the half-time whistle approached, but the teams went in level at the break.
Teenage Harry Amass fired over the bar after Dalot had gone down under Tonali’s covering challenge as the second-half resumed at a fast pace.
The visitors, who lost Joshua Zirkzee to a suspected hamstring injury, dropped below Everton on goal difference to 14th in the table – and just three points off fourth-bottom West Ham after a 10th defeat in 21 Premier League games under Amorim.
Earlier today, Chelsea came from 2-0 down to grabbed a point against Ipswich, while Liverpool defeated West Ham 2-1 to get more closer to win the league.
