Video: Newcastle climb to third in the table with victory over Manchester United

Newcastle United rose to third place in the race for Champions League qualification after a 2-0 win against Manchester United, with Joe Willock and Callum Wilson scoring the goals.

The victory was well-deserved, as Newcastle created better chances and could have scored earlier through Alexander Isak, Sean Longstaff, and Willock.

They now have the same number of points as Manchester United but a better goal difference, with 11 games remaining in the season.

The match was fiercely contested, with both teams employing high presses, and Newcastle began to exert sustained pressure as Allan Saint-Maximin found his feet.

Manchester United tried to bounce back with substitutes Jadon Sancho and Anthony Martial, but it was not enough to prevent Newcastle from scoring two late goals.
