Newcastle vs Man United LIVE!
Substitute Edinson Cavani scored in the second half to help Manchester United salvage a 1-1 draw at Newcastle after a poor performance from the visitors.
Cavani scored the equaliser with 20 minutes to go, after Allan Saint-Maximin gave the home side a seventh-minute lead with a fine individual effort, side-stepping two markers before he fired past David De Gea.
The visiting goalkeeper kept a lethargic United afloat with an array of good saves as Newcastle always looked dangerous on the break, with home striker Callum Wilson also having a goal ruled out for offside in the 38th minute.
Saint-Maximin spurned a sitter early in the second half and De Gea then made a pair of stops in quick succession before Cavani beat home keeper Martin Dubravka at the second attempt after his initial shot was blocked.
United then barely survived a late Newcastle onslaught as Jacob Murphy hit the post and De Gea clawed Miguel Almiron’s shot on the rebound out of the top corner.
