Newcastle heaps more misery on Amorim's United
Newcastle United recorded its fourth straight Premier League win after a 2-0 victory over struggling Manchester United at Old Trafford.
First-half headers from Alexander Isak and Joelinton lifted the high-flying Magpies to fifth place, while condemning Ruben Amorim’s side to a third successive league defeat.
Just over three-and-a-half minutes had elapsed when Isak nodded home his 12th goal of the season from Lewis Hall's cross.
Joelinton made it 2-0 inside the opening 20 minutes, while Sandro Tonali hit the post as the visitor went close to extending the lead.
Although its opponent improved as the contest wore on - Harry Maguire striking the woodwork with the host's best opportunity - Eddie Howe's side was never in genuine danger of surrendering its advantage.
Newcastle climbed to fifth and within three points of fourth-place Chelsea, which was beaten by struggling Ipswich Town at Portman Road, while the Red Devils remain 14th.
