Newcastle 2-1 Man Utd: 10-man Toons stun Utd as Carrick suffers first defeat

Substitute William Osula scored a superb late winner as 10-man Newcastle United inflicted Michael Carrick's first defeat as Manchester United manager.

Match Report

Carrick grew up watching Newcastle on the Gallowgate End, and warned his players the stadium was "tough place to go" before a ball had been kicked.

So it proved - even after Newcastle midfielder Jacob Ramsey was sent off in the first half - as the spirited hosts rallied at a raucous St James' Park.

It looked like both sides were going to have to settle for a share of the spoils after Casemiro's header cancelled out Anthony Gordon's penalty.

But Osula cut inside the box and lashed the ball past the stunned Senne Lammens, who could only watch it hit the net in the 90th minute to send the stadium into raptures.
