Anthony Gordon celebrates with his Newcastle United teammates after scoring against Manchester United at St James' Park
Newcastle United ended their rotten run of form with a last gasp win over Man United at St James' Park - thanks to a late stunner from William Osula.
The game exploded into life at the end of the first half as Jacob Ramsey was sent off for a second yellow card after diving. Bruno Fernandes then clipped Anthony Gordon in the box before Peter Bankes pointed to the spot.

But the play continued and in the 51st minute of the first half, Lewis Hall conceded a free-kick which Fernandes crossed in for Casimero to head home the equaliser.
The game looked to be edging to a nervous finish for Newcastle as Ramsdale had his work cut out but substitute William Osula made a run down the right before bending the ball home with his left foot to beat Lammens.
Here's how Newcastle fared against the Red Devils:
**Aaron Ramsdale 9**
Made some vital saves to deny Yoro and Zirkee when Newcastle were under the cosh. Man of the match.
**Kieran Trippier 8**
Battled hard and sent Osula free down the right before his wonder goal. Four tackles and eight clearances to boot.
**Malick Thiaw 8**
A near immaculate display at the back as he scrapped and cleared all night.
**Dan Burn 9**
Stood tall when Newcastle needed him despite being constantly targeted by the Man United grapple squad.
**Lewis Hall 8**
Helped Newcastle absorb some big pressure.
**Joelinton 8**
Played close to the edge but was a massive presence in the middle. Skated thin ice with the yellow card and needed to be held back.
**Sandro Tonali 9**
A sparkling display but the so called big clubs can only dream of signing him. A real leader's performance as he stopped Joelinton overheating.
**Jacob Ramsey 5**
A sloppy first booking for a pull on Casemiro led to a moment of real controversy. It was a ridiculous call from Peter Bankes, but it ended Ramsey's night early. Should he have been more savvy? Or is anybody capable of predicting such a rash decision?
**Harvey Barnes 6**
Did not threaten enough. Just one shot on target and, disappointingly, for a winger, just one cross from 16 touches.
**Anthony Elanga 5**
Was better after the break but 35 touches and two crosses is a poor return even if United were down to 10 men.
**Anthony Gordon 7**
Won the penalty and kept his nerve to convert.
**Subs**
**Joe Willock (for Barnes 46)**
**Jacob Murphy (for Elanga 84)**
**William Osula (for Gordon 84)**
**Sven Botman (for Tonali 90)**
**\*Subs must play 15 minutes to earn a mark.**
