Match Commentary
93' FULL-TIME: Not a great game, but United stepped up a gear when they needed to and won comfortably. Newcastle showed a lot of spirit, and weren't helped by injuries to three of their midfielders, but they lack ideas up front. |
93' Oooh! Luque does brilliantly to control a long ball in to the area and beat his marker, but his shot from six yards is horribly mis-hit and dribbles wide. |
92' A third league goal this season for Van Nistelrooy, who has started very well. He looks sharp and dangerous and back to his best. |
