Ten-man Newcastle United produced a memorable 2-1 victory over Manchester United, sealed by substitute William Osula's superb 90th-minute strike that handed Michael Carrick his first defeat as United manager. Eddie Howe's side had earlier been rocked by Jacob Ramsey's controversial first-half sending off and had seen an initial lead wiped out during a remarkable spell of first-half stoppage time, yet they still finished the stronger team.
Anthony Gordon's penalty, earned after a foul by Bruno Fernandes, was swiftly cancelled out by Casemiro's header from a Fernandes delivery in a chaotic end to the opening period triggered by Ramsey's dismissal. But despite their numerical disadvantage for much of the contest, Newcastle were described as looking the more dangerous side, and the ten men ultimately and deservedly secured the points thanks to Osula's late moment of wonder.

The game's key flashpoint arrived in the first half when Jacob Ramsey was sent off in highly contentious circumstances. The Newcastle player was dismissed after the referee ruled he had committed an apparent dive under a challenge from visiting goalkeeper Senne Lammens, leaving Howe's team reduced to ten men well before the interval.
