Harvey Barnes sent head coach Eddie Howe the best possible get well message as Newcastle brushed aside Manchester United 4-1 to climb into fourth place in the Premier League table.
Barnes struck twice after the break at a packed St James’ Park after Alejandro Garnacho had cancelled out Sandro Tonali’s opener, with Bruno Guimaraes’ late strike completing a first league double over the men from Old Trafford since the 1930-31 season to put a smile on Howe’s face in his hospital bed.
