Victory to the North West...Newcastle 0-3 Man Utd



There was a lot of talk about the in form strikers before this game kicked off. Demba Ba,the Premier leagues leading scorer and Robin Van Persie who has scored 7 in 7 games(all competitions) for Man United... but two early goals from Johnny Evans and Patrice Evra in the 8th and 15th minute respectively and a magical shot from Tom Cleverly(did he mean it?) in the second half(71st min) gave Manchester United a well deserved 3 points.

The game started with Manchester United in total control,they played a diamond shaped system that allowed free flowing football and passes to connect well as Wayne Rooney played as the link between midfield and attack.A system that Newcastle found hard to deal with.In the 7th minute of the game,Manchester United got a corner and Johnny Evans headed in an in swinging cross from Robin Van Persie to make it 1-0.Manchester United almost doubled their lead when Danny Welbeck chased a back pass to Steve Harper,the striker put the goal keeper under pressure and managed to get the ball but shot wide even with the option of passing the ball to Robin Van persie.Manchester United continued to dominate and Demba Ba brought down Tom Cleverly just outside the box,Wayne Rooney played the freekick forcing Steve Harper to make a brilliant save but corner to Manchester United.Wayne Rooney takes the corner and finds an unmarked Patrice Evra in the box,the left back heads the ball in  to make it 2-0.Manchester United has now scored 5 goals from corners this season,more than any other team in the division.

Newcastle sat up after going down 2-0 and tried to get some attacks in against a solid Man united side.And with a couple of unconvincing David De Gea plays,there was little pressure on Man United.Patrice Evra was holding on to Papa cisse shirt as a Newcastle set piece was taken,it could have easily been a penalty but Man United held on to take the 2-0 lead into half time.

The second half came with Newcastle trying to create a chance to get back into the game and once again the story of goal line technology has come into play.A cross from Shane Ferguson into the box for Demba Ba,the striker headed the ball after David De Gea completely missed clearing the ball,the ball hit the bar and came down as Cisse headed it towards the goal,David De Gea made a brilliant save but the ball is said to have crossed the line(or did it) but no goal was given.
In the 71st min Tom Cleverly put the game to an end after he curved the ball from outside the 18 yard box to beat Steve Harper...3-0 Man United and definitely the 3 points.Manchester united got their second clean sheet of the season and a defense that has been called into question did enough to keep out a Newcastle strike force of Demba Ba and Cisse.Man United go back to 2nd on the league table and Newcastle are 10th on the table.

In more words to come..Sabi Boi..
