"The form of these two clubs could hardly have been more different since Carrick took charge, with United winning six of seven league games and injury-hit Newcastle winning just once in the same period."
"And while Jacob Ramsey's dismissal for a second bookable offence in first-half stoppage time threatened to make it a long night for the hosts, it was mere minutes later that Anthony Gordon won and converted a penalty to give Howe's side the lead."
"The visitors piled on the pressure as the second half ticked on but were ultimately undone by a superb curling finish from substitute William Osula following a fast break."
Newcastle upset Manchester United 2-1 in a match that saw contrasting form from both sides. United had won six of seven league games under Carrick, while Newcastle had struggled with just one win in the same period. Newcastle's Jacob Ramsey received a red card for a second bookable offense in first-half stoppage time. Anthony Gordon won and converted a penalty shortly after to give Newcastle the lead. Bruno Fernandes equalized with a free-kick headed in by Casemiro before halftime. Despite United's second-half pressure and Aaron Ramsdale's several saves, substitute William Osula sealed Newcastle's victory with a curling finish following a fast break.
