United have come out as though they're 3 goals up and looking for more. They're pressing high and attacking with gusto. It's a good response to the first half but they're still two goals down.
The ball comes to Fellaini who gives it to Pogba. Pogba shoots and Dubravka dives to his left making the save. The ball falls to Matic who slaps it over the bar. Good play from United but poor from Matic.
Fellaini is on and McTominay is off. United restart the action and you get the feeling that if United don't get something from this game Mourinho may be gone.
Man Utd win a corner and Young whips it in. Perez heads it out though. Utd get a second chance, Muto breaks away and Luke Shaw effectively rugby tackles him to the ground for a yellow.
Diame takes the ball off Matic with real ease, he runs into of of the gaps in between the tow centre backs and takes a shot. De Gea makes another save.
I honestly believe my local Sunday league side would score against this Man Utd defence. There's gaps everywhere and no co-ordination between the centre backs. Ashley Young is lucky to get away with a handball in the box.
Shelvey delivers another ball into the box and Lascelles is free to head the ball. It's a good job he can't control it or else United would be three down.
David De Gea, you heroic man! What a save! Muto fires a really close range header on goal and De Gea dives to his left stopping the ball before scrambling to grab hold of it. De Gea keeps United in the contest.
Good play from Lukaku he holds the ball up against three Newcastle defenders before finding Martial on the left wing. Martial messes up though and can't drive the ball into the box.
Smalling clatters through Perez on the halfway line. Newcastle get the ball down the left side and Perez tries to find Ritchie who comes blazing into the box but the cross is over his head.
Chance for Utd! Lukaku crosses the ball the right corner, he finds Rashford perfectly and the young man sends it wide. It's a poor effort and United should have a goal back.
This Man Utd defence is truly quite poor. For a team with such history and success, the defensive players this season have really let them down. Every team seems likely to score against them. Man Utd are playing at Old Trafford and are 2 goals down against Newcastle, who are scored bottom in the table.
This is the first time Newcastle have gone ahead in a Premier League match this season. Man Utd a shambles again at the back, the ball drifts to Muto and he hammers home a powerful left footed shot.

It’s a big game for…
Bruno Manga: The Cardiff defence collectively delivered yet another lacklustre defensive display at home to Burnley, yet arguably the most disturbing performance came from the Gabon international. The 30-year-old has been one of the better Cardiff defenders this season but both Burnley goals were created from his side of the field. Manager Neil Warnock will hope he responds to those mistakes with a commanding display against Spurs.

Weird /best stat…
27: Harry Kane has faced 27 different teams in the Premier League, and Cardiff are the only side among those that the England forward has not scored against.
Remember when…
Brazilian midfielder Paulinho has probably created more headlines since he left Tottenham in 2015 than he did during his time in North London, but his backheel finish from Christian Eriksen’s cross to seal a 1-0 victory in the last minute of added time against Cardiff was something to behold. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_36_WyNxfiQ
Player to watch…
Erik Lamela: The 26-year-old has enjoyed a run of games for one of the very first times during his Tottenham career, and he is repaying the faith shown in him by Pochettino. The Argentinian whipped in a deflected strike in midweek to give Spurs hope, while he also grabbed the winner against Brighton a fortnight ago. With Spurs’ injuries mounting up, the former Roma winger’s role in the side could become paramount in the next few months.
