Joe Willock and Callum Wilson fired Newcastle to a 2-0 victory against Manchester United to climb above their opponents into third place in the Premier League
Erik ten Hag has described Newcastle United as “annoying” for some time now but, until Sunday, Manchester United’s manager probably regarded Eddie Howe’s side as more of a nuisance than a genuine threat.
If Howe enjoyed watching his players exact revenge for the Carabao Cup final defeat to the same opponents in February, Ten Hag’s irritation at being bested here surfaced as, deep in the second half, the two managers pointed fingers in each other’s faces after the Dutchman accused Nick Pope, the home goalkeeper, of time wasting. In the end he and Howe had to be separated by Manchester United’s assistant manager, Steve McClaren.
It was thrillingly exhilarating but the concern for home fans was that it did not seem possible for their team to maintain such ferocity and intensity. Somehow a Newcastle side which is arguably the top tier’s fittest managed it.

Guests in hotels and holiday apartments will be charged one pound per night, per room, in a similar scheme to many cities across Europe. Officials hope the new tax will raise the equivalent of over $5 million a year to support the city and local businesses. Manchester City Council calls the scheme an “innovative initiative”. The body behind the new charge in Manchester says it’ll go towards cleaning and attractions as part of a bigger business plan – however, whether a tourist tax is effective is still dividing opinion.
