Match Events


14' CHANCE! Martial's shot wide out

Martial looks to cut inside from the left and take on Yedlin, but he stops his run on the corner of the penalty area and curls a pass into the area which is cleared by a defender for a corner.

24' CHANCE! Rashford's shot saved


An early pass is hit up field from Lindelof and it somehow bounces in-between Lascelles and Schar who both misjudged the bounce. Dubravka does well coming off his line quickly, and by the time Rashford is able to have a strike inside the penalty area, the goalkeeper is at his foot to make the parry.

64'GOAL! Newcastle 0-1 Man Utd (Lukaku)

38 seconds is all it took for the substitute to get on the score sheet as Rashford’s powerful free-kick is spilt by Dubravka, right in the path of Lukaku who turns it home from inside the six-yard box with ease!


80'GOAL! Newcastle 0-2 Man Utd (Rashford)

Rashford plays it to Lukaku on the halfway line and continues forward, taking up a good position at the bottom of the penalty area. In the meantime, Lukaku finds Sanchez with a pass, and the winger looks up and finds his England team-mate open in the box.
