Newcastle 4-1 Manchester United: Harvey Barnes stars as Magpies end 94-year wait
Magpies were without Eddie Howe but they had no issues in completing the double over Man United
Harvey Barnes sent head coach Eddie Howe the best possible get well message as Newcastle brushed aside Manchester United 4-1 to climb into fourth place in the Premier League table.
Barnes struck twice after the break at a packed St James’ Park after Alejandro Garnacho had cancelled out Sandro Tonali’s opener, with Bruno Guimaraes’ late strike completing a first league double over the men from Old Trafford since the 1930-31 season to put a smile on Howe’s face in his hospital bed.
The hosts were first to threaten when, after Kieran Trippier had picked off Joshua Zirkzee’s crossfield pass and fed Jacob Murphy, the wide-man whistled a skidding third-minute shot just wide of Bayindir’s far post.
