A much-changed Magpies lineup took the lead through an emphatic debut goal from Alexander Isak. The record signing had a second strike chalked off for offside, and Carvalho's stoppage-time strike settled the contest after Roberto Firmino's equaliser just after the hour mark.

Tensions spilled over between the dugouts following hard-fought encounter, and United fans were left aggrieved by the decision to play beyond the initial estimate of five added minutes. It was not the first call to have left the Toon Army frustrated just weeks into the new campaign.
