Luke Shaw has claimed that Newcastle United did not beat Manchester United "on quality" after he claimed that the Magpies had more "passion and hunger" than the Red Devils.
Joe Willock and Callum Wilson's second-half strikes ensured that a raucous St James' Park had plenty to celebrate when the full-time whistle blew. In a reverse of the Carabao Cup final, Newcastle exacted their revenge by leapfrogging their top four rivals and moving ahead of Man United into third place on goal difference.
Eddie Howe's side dominated the majority of the match as they recorded 22 shots to their opponents' six. But Shaw believes the reason his side walked away with nothing to show was not due to the quality on display but from a lack of effort among those in red.
