Newcastle United strengthened their top-four hopes and leapfrogged Manchester United into third in the Premier League table as Joe Willock and Callum Wilson sealed an important win at St James’ Park.
Newcastle flew out of the traps in the first half and created several clear chances to take the lead. David de Gea was forced into a double save to deny Alexander Isak and Willock, who then wasted an even better opportunity from Allan Saint-Maximin’s pull-back.
