Match Timeline
Match Commentary
90' FULL-TIME: United move to within a point of Arsenal with a hard-fought victory over a battling Newcastle. But the game will surely be remembered for a quite stunning Rooney volley from 25 yards. |
88' The United fans have certainly woken up since their side went in front. |
87' Given comes out of his goal to clear a pass-back. Unfortunately, he scuffs horribly. Smith hits a first-time effort in the vague direction of the goal, before Elliot inexplicably chests the shot goalwards. Given flies back across his goal-line to save. Very odd. |
