Newcastle United vs. Manchester United
Minute Commentary
90' NEWCASTLE UNITED 0, MANCHESTER UNITED 3.
Disapointment for Newcastle as they were still in this game until around the 70 minute mark. They had a two-goal defecit to recover in the second half, and looked like they might do that at the start of the second period. Another moment of controversy occured when Demba Ba's header looked to have crossed the line after a David De Gea blunder, but the referee ruled in favour of the Spanish keeper, who recovered to scramble the ball away. Tom Cleverley wrapped things up on 70 minutes, when his shot/cross curled into the top corner. A great result for United, and they will be especially pleased with their clean sheet after conceding 3 last week against Spurs.
90' FULL TIME
That's it. Howard Webb brings the game to a close.
90' YELLOW CARD
Paul Scholes receives his customary yellow card and laughs it off.
88' SUBSTITUTION
Veteran Ryan Giggs will get a short run-out as Robin Van Persie goes off for United.
86' YELLOW CARD
Gael Bigirimana joins the growing list of yellow-carded players after a frustrated challenge on Tom Cleverley.
85' RAPID RECOVERY
As soon as the ball goes out of play, it seems that Yohan Cabaye is fine again. Play continues as Newcastle give the ball back to the Red Devils following that short interruption.
83' POSSIBLE INJURY
Yohan Cabaye goes down holding his face following a tussle with Robin Van Persie. A rapid counter attack comes to an end as Antonio Valencia sportingly puts the ball out of play.
81' SUBSTITUTION
Gael Bigirimana comes on for Newcastle. He replaces Cheik Tiote in midfield.
79' SUBSTITUTION
United's legendary mastermind Paul Scholes comes on to make matters worse for Newcastle. Wayne Rooney is taken off after putting in a great shift today.
76' LOST HEART
Newcastle United are finding it difficult to conjure up the same level of belief as they had at 2-0 and United look more and more likely to increase the deficit.
75' YELLOW CARD
James Perch is booked for a tackle from behind on Robin Van Persie.
72' MORE ON THAT GOAL
Well that's surely game over now. It's unclear whether it is a spectacular shot from Cleverley or whether he is trying to find Robin Van Persie at the back post, but either way he completely beats Steve Harper as the ball curls into the top corner.
71' GOOOAAALLL
Tom Cleverley wraps up the game for Manchester United.
69' HAVE TO SCORE SOON
Newcastle United are enjoying a good spell, creating a few half-chances, but they have to make them count if they are to get back into this game.
65' SUBSTITUTION
Alan Pardew makes his first changes - and it's a double substitution. Shola Ameobi and Vurnon Anita come on for Papiss Cisse and Shane Ferguson.
63' SHOT GOES WIDE
Tom Cleverley doesn't do enough and Hatem Ben Arfa drifts past him as if he wasn't there. He manages to get a shot away but it doesn't trouble the Man Utd goal. Nevertheless, David De Gea isn't impressed.
62' NOT MUCH HAPPENING
The free kick comes to nothing, which reflects the game at the moment as both sides seem to be taking a breather.
60' FREE KICK
Manchester United have another chance to get a decent ball in as Cheik Tiote fouls Patrice Evra. He gets away with a stern talking to though.
56' SUBSTITUTION
Antonio Valencia comes on to replace Shinji Kagawa, probably to help out defensively as much as anything as Mike Williamson and Hatem Ben Arfa were starting to cause problems down the left wing.
55' BA HEADER
Newcastle United are starting to ask more questions and this time the opportunity falls to top-scorer Demba Ba. He gets in front of Rio Ferdinand but can't get the header on target.
50' NO GOAL!
Chaos in the Manchester United area as David De Gea again completely misjudges the ball in. It completely evades the Spanish keeper and hits the bar; Demba Ba heads towards the corner of the goal. De Gea scrambles it away and the Newcastle United players protest for a goal but Howard Webb disagrees. That one was too close to call.
48' NEWCASTLE TACTICS
Newcastle United will want to keep the same tempo that they ended the first half with. They cant afford to commit too much though, if the next goal goes against them it will surely be game over.
46' KICK OFF
Manchester United get the second half underway.
45' FIRST HALF SUMMARY
Sir Alex Ferguson's rejig of the starting line-up has proved very worthwhile, as they came out and completely dominated from the off. Danny Welbeck should have scored before Jonny Evans put the visitors ahead after eight minutes from a corner. Newcastle looked vulnerable from corners all half and Patrice Evra converted from another corner soon after. Danny Welbeck should have made it three when he stole the ball off Steve Harper but he somehow missed the target. Newcastle grew into the game and United will be happy to go in two goals to the good.
45' HALF TIME
Howard Webb signals the end of the first half.
45' UNITED CORNER
Newcastle are once again undone by a Manchester United corner. The ball is headed on towards Wayne Rooney, who is completely unmarked at the back post but he can't quite climb high enough and it goes behind for a goal kick.
43' YELLOW CARD
Jonas Gutierrez is shown a yellow card by Howard Webb.
41' SANTON RUN
Davide Santon glides past Patrice Evra and the attack looks very promising but his indecision costs him as Jonny Evans is able to close him down. The ball flies up in the air and David De Gea doesn't look entirely comfortable in dealing with it but Rafael clears it eventually.
39' UNCOMFORTABLE
Once again David De Gea makes a hash of an incoming set piece. This time a foul from Hatem Ben Arfa lets him off the hook.
37' NEXT GOAL VITAL
Manchester United don't look as comfortable as they did in the opening 15 minutes. They will be happy if they go into the break with the scoreline like this as Newcastle look the more likely to score now.
34' YELLOW CARD
Cheik Tiote is Newcastle United's first player to be cautioned this afternoon.
32' LUCKY ESCAPE
The free kick is lofted high into the area from Yohan Cabaye, and David De Gea attempts to get hold of the ball, but completely misses it. He is lucky that Demba Ba takes his eye off the ball and doesn't make good contact.
31' YELLOW CARD
Howard Webb races over to give the third yellow card of the game. This time Robin Van Persie is the guilty man.
30' YELLOW CARD
Rio Ferdinand is justly booked for an uneccesary challenge from behind on Demba Ba.
27' INJURY
Jonny Evans is struggling with his knee and leaves the field for some treatment. Scott Wootton is the only defender on United's bench today, should Jonny Evans not be able to continue.
25' SHOT FROM BA
A well-worked Newcastle corner is pinged to the back of the area towards Demba Ba, who just gets underneath his shot and it goes way over the bar.
23' YELLOW CARD
Shinji Kagawa is booked for a late challenge on Hatem Ben Arfa, and stopping a decent attack in the process.
20' DESERVED LEAD
United's two-goal lead is nothing more than they deserve - in fact, they could have had three or four if Danny Welbeck had his shooting boots on. Sir Alex Ferguson's men are in complete control and the home side have offered very little in return.
18' JUST WIDE
Hatem Ben Arfa makes a rare run at the United defence and his cross is cleared only as far as Jonas Gutierrez, whose shot whistles past the post. David De Gea probably had it covered though.
17' MORE ON THAT GOAL
Wayne Rooney's inswinging free kick is tipped wide by Steve Harper and the resulting corner from Rooney is headed past the keeper by PATRICE EVRA. The Newcastle defenders are furious with each other.
15' GOOOAAALLL
Patrice Evra doubles Manchester United's lead!
13' GREAT CHANCE
Danny Welbeck pressurises the ball of Steve Harper and has an open goal but somehow he can't hit the target. It was a tight angle but he's got to do better from there - and that's his second good chance of the game.
11' NEWCASTLE ATTACK
Following that goal, Newcastle find some energy and venture into the United half for the first time but the hard-working Wayne Rooney tracks back to quell the danger.
9' MORE ON THAT GOAL
Robin Van Persie's corner is met by JONNY EVANS, who evades Mike Williamson and powers a header past the helpless Steve Harper.
8' GOOOAAALLL
Jonny Evans puts the visitors ahead after just eight minutes.
4' FIRST CORNER
Shinji Kagawa wins United's first corner from a blocked cross. They take it short and play some more keep ball before Robin Van Persie heads it down to Wayne Rooney, who backheels it to Danny Welbeck, but the Englishman scuffs his shot under no pressure at all.
2' KEEP BALL
Manchester United have control of possession early on. They are happy to pass it round and settle in - they don't want to concede another early goal.
1' KICK OFF
Newcastle get the game underway.
0' NEWCASTLE LINE-UP
James Perch and Mike Williamson do indeed fill the hole in defence with Davide Santon playing at right-back ahead of the recovering Danny Simpson. Alan Pardew is giving Sir Alex a run for his money, fielding Hatem Ben Arfa, Jonas Gutierrez, Papiss Cisse and Demba Ba, all of whom are capable of netting a few goals.
0' MAN UTD LINE-UP
David De Gea is preferred in goal this afternoon as the role of first choice keeper is still undecided. Jonny Evans partners Rio Ferdinand in the heart of defence. Sir Alex has opted for an attacking line-up with Wayne Rooney, Robin Van Persie and Danny Welbeck all starting. Tom Cleverley is the other change from last week's defeat at Tottenham. Nani doesn't even make the bench as Welbeck will start on the right.

0' NEWCASTLE UNITED TEAM NEWS
The Magpies have similar defensive misfortunes, with Fabricio Coloccini, Steven Taylor and Ryan Taylor all out of contention. James Perch and Mike Williamson are likely to plug the vacancies at the back. Danny Simpson and Yohan Cabaye have recovered from knocks and are looking to return. Alan Pardew rested a number of key players in midweek but all are available to return, with Jonas Gutierrez also pushing for a place. Tim Krul is also out - Steve Harper is set to deputise.
0' MANCHESTER UNITED TEAM NEWS
The Red Devils still have problems at the back with Nemanja Vidic, Chris Smalling (doubtful) and Phil Jones all out through injury. Jonny Evans is said to have recovered after limping off against FCR Cluj but Scott Wootton is next in line should the niggle keep Evans out. Michael Carrick, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs missed the trip to Romania but are available today. Antonio Valencia is unlikely to feature due to an ankle problem, which will probably see Nani start on the right.
0' HEAD TO HEAD
These two sides have met on 36 occasions in the Premier League - Manchester United have won 20, while the Toon Army have only taken the points four times. 12 of those games have ended in a draw. However, recent form swings in Alan Pardew's favour, in last season's Premier League duels Newcastle took four points from United, including that 3-0 thumping at the Sports Direct Arena in January.
0' CERTAIN TO BE GOALS
This battle will showcase the current top two Premier League goalscorers - Demba Ba (6) and Robin Van Persie (5). And that's without even mentioning Wayne Rooney or Papiss Cisse! Rooney has returned to fitness following that nasty gash he sustained against Fulham, and he looked sharp as ever when he partnered the unstoppable Dutchman in midweek. Cisse ended last season in incredible form and there are signs that another goal frenzy is coming up - he got on the scoresheet in midweek and looks to have his eye for goal back.
0' PREVIEW
Today's game sees Newcastle United take on Manchester United at the Sports Direct Arena. The visitors' season has been a rocky road so far; their catalogue of defensive vacancies has caused Sir Alex all sorts of headaches, and but for masterclasses from Robin Van Persie and co, United's poor defensive form could have cost them points in nearly every encounter this season. Newcastle have had similar problems, conceding only one less than the visitors - but with both strike forces on song, it could be a question of 'how high can you go' that settles this one.
