Cavani saved United from the disaster, Rangnick: We had almost nothing under control – ŠPORT.sk

For Newcastle, victory would be a sensation. The “Magpies” scored fully in the current season in only one of the nineteen games when they won 1-0 over Burnley, and they have the penultimate place in the table. The home team played the fourth match in the past sixteen days, with their score in the previous three being 1:11 without gaining a point.

“We played well, we defended well and we didn’t allow them much,” said Newcastle coach Eddie Howe after the match. “I think we had the best chance of the match, Jacob Murphy had two good shots, Allan another. With a little luck we could have won.”

It was the second weak performance in a row for Manchester United. The team lost the opportunity to move to fifth place. “I didn’t like the performance at all. We try to control the matches better and we had almost nothing under control today,” said coach of guest Ralf Rangnick. “We played better against the Palace at home. We have to win such clear matches.”
