Man Utd vs Newcastle LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as hosts clinch win in five-goal thriller
Manchester United came from behind to beat Newcastle United 3-2 in a thrilling Premier League clash at Old Trafford on Saturday.
The visitors took the lead through Allan Saint-Maximin in the first half, but the hosts equalised through Marcus Rashford just before the break. Anthony Martial then put United ahead in the second half, only for Newcastle to level again through Miguel Almiron. However, Rashford scored the winner in the 85th minute to give United all three points.
The result sees United move up to fourth in the Premier League table, three points behind Newcastle. It was a much-needed win for manager Erik ten Hag, who has come under pressure in recent weeks. The Dutchman will be hoping that this victory can kick-start his team's season.
Newcastle, meanwhile, remain in sixth place. They will be disappointed to have lost this game, but they can take solace in the fact that they played well and caused United plenty of problems. Eddie Howe's team will be looking to bounce back when they face Fulham in their next Premier League game.
