They looked dangerous when going forward and indeed in the 30th minute, the opening goal was scored by Marcus Rashford after some individual brilliance form the striker who scored in the bottom left corner.

However the Magpies managed to grab an equalizer scored by Allan Saint- Maximin after he struck a volley from a poor clearance by the The Red Devil Defense, to beat David De Gea and rattle the net. At halftime the scores were level at 1-1

Although Newcastle played encouraging football, The Red Devil's were more efficient and in the 56th minute, they took the lead again with a strike from Daniel James which landed in the back of the net.

And up stepped the in-form Portuguese international, Bruno Fernandes as he converted to make the score 3-1 to take his tally up to 15 goals for the season.
