Will Osula came off the bench to blast 10-man Newcastle to a dramatic 2-1 victory over Manchester United as Michael Carrick suffered defeat for the first time in his interim reign.
The 22-year-old Dane struck in spectacular style in the 90th minute of a pulsating encounter to end both Carrick’s eight-game unbeaten run and the Magpies’ return of three successive Premier League defeats in style.
Thirty years to the day since Eric Cantona famously fired United to a 1-0 win over Kevin Keegan’s Magpies at St James’ Park which proved a decisive blow in the race for the title, the sides served up a pulsating contest which remained in the balance until the final whistle.
Jacob Ramsey’s dismissal for a second bookable offence sparked a frenzied conclusion to the first half during which Anthony Gordon put the home side ahead from the penalty spot before Casemiro restored parity.
The Magpies, who were aggrieved at referee Peter Bankes’ decision to caution Ramsey for simulation, battled their way manfully through the second half to secure a fourth successive home win over the Red Devils in front of a hugely appreciative crowd of 52,184.
