Manchester United Vs Newcastle United Highlights

Man Utd restore their seven point lead at the top of the Barclays Premier League with a 2-1 win at St James Park thanks to strikes from Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov.

Newcastle break from a United corner, Jose Enrique cutting the ball back to Jonas Gutierrez on the left. The Argentine’s shot isn’t the greatest but Edwin van der Sar spills it into Peter Lovenkrands’ path and he can’t miss.

John O’Shea Plays a one-two with Ji-Sung Park on the right before playing in Wayne Rooney, who turns in a flash and lashes the ball past Steve Harper. Might have been a slight deflection.

Ryan Taylor attempts a very ambitious chest back to keeper Steve Harper. Too ambitious. Ji-Sung Park steals the ball and sets up Dimitar Berbatov for the tap-in.

O’Shea’s cross is headed away by Enrique, but only as far as Ronaldo on the edge of the area. He dinks inside Cacapa’s sliding challenge, before completing his hat-trick by slotting home with his left foot.

O’Shea’s cross is flicked on by Nani to Tevez at the far post, and the Argentine taps the ball onto the crossbar. The ball then bounced down, with replays inconclusive as to whether the whole ball crossed the line.
