On Sunday evening, the last match of the 8th round of the English Premier League was played in Newcastle.
Another tragic performance was delivered by "Manchester United," coached by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The "Red Devils" fell to the footballers of "Newcastle," who had only won one game in the Premier League before this match.
With three games already played without a win, "Man Utd" started the match quite poorly, as reflected in the statistics - only three attempts on goal and only one of them on target.
The decisive moment of the match occurred in the 72nd minute, when the well-organized "Newcastle" team scored the only and winning goal of the match.
19-year-old Matthew Longstaff, who received the ball just outside the penalty area, defeated David de Gea with a strong shot on the ground. For the goalkeeper, this was his debut in the Premier League.
After eight rounds, "Man Utd" is in 12th position. They have two wins, three losses, and the same number of draws. The Manchester team is only two points away from the relegation zone.
With their second win, "Newcastle" climbed out of the relegation zone with 8 points.
Result:
"Newcastle" 1 - 0 "Man Utd"
