(Reuters) – Bruno Fernandes corrected a missed penalty with a late goal when Manchester United thrashed Newcastle United 4-1 on Saturday for their second Premier League win of the season.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side got off to the worst possible start when the ball deflected off Luke Shaw for an own goal in the second minute, but United captain Harry Maguire tied alongside him from a corner in the 23rd minute. .
Goalkeepers Karl Darlow and David de Gea were in top form. Gea’s Spaniard made a brilliant reflex save to deny Allan Saint-Maximin, while Darlow also made a series of good saves at the other end.
The visitors should have gotten ahead from the point after Marcus Rashford’s foul, but again Darlow was up to the task, forearming Fernandes’ distance shot.
However, the Newcastle keeper appeared to be affected by a left groin injury and Fernandes made no mistake with four minutes remaining, finishing off a superb and fluid counterattack as he hit the ball in the upper right corner to give his team the lead. .
Newcastle collapsed in the final minutes as Aaron Wan-Bissaka stepped in to shoot into the same top corner for his first senior goal in injury time, and Rashford added a fourth with a cleverly timed run and a brilliant finish to complete the win. .
The victory places Manchester United in 14th place with six points, while Newcastle are in 11th place with seven points.
