Matt Ritchie scored the only goal as Newcastle United beat Manchester United for their first win at St James’ Park since October.
Ritchie struck on 65 minutes after Florian Lejeune had superbly denied Alexis Sanchez an open goal at the other end.
In the first half David De Gea saved from Jonjo Shelvey and Newcastle debutant Martin Dubravka denied Anthony Martial in a one-on-one.
Romelu Lukaku thought he had scored just after the break but his header was ruled out for a foul.
Ritchie’s first goal of the season came when Lejeune and Dwight Gayle flicked on Shelvey’s deep free-kick.
United were condemned to back-to-back away defeats by two goal-saving blocks by Gayle and a stoppage-time save by Dubravka.
The win lifts Newcastle out of the relegation zone and up to 13th. Second-placed United remain 16 points behind Manchester City and four ahead of Tottenham Hotspur.
