In some ways, it feels like a lifetime ago now. As the wait goes on for a breakthrough in the transfer window, it was just a couple of months ago that Newcastle United’s current stars thumped much-changed Manchester United 4-1 at St James’ Park.<\/p>\n
To think Gary Neville<\/a> predicted a narrow defeat on account of his former side supposedly being ‘quite solid’. Fellow pundit Paul Merson even suggested that Ruben Amorim’s team would ‘frustrate’ Newcastle<\/a>.<\/p>\n Eddie Howe may not have physically been there on the touchline that afternoon, but this win was a fitting tribute to the ill Newcastle boss<\/a>: the way the players knew their jobs and did not let their standards slip in his absence; the manner in which Alexander Isak and Sandro Tonali combined for the Magpies’ opener; how the hosts did not panic after Manchester United equalised; the ruthless fashion in which the black-and-whites pounced on errors from Noussair Mazraoui and Altay Bayindir late on…<\/p>\n Newcastle were ultimately so comfortable that assistant Jason Tindall had the luxury of taking off Kieran Trippier, Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton, Jacob Murphy and Alexander Isak long before full-time.<\/p>\n There were even audible ol\u00e9s from Geordies in the closing stages as Newcastle popped the ball around and made Manchester United look every inch a side that would end up finishing 24 points behind the Magpies.<\/p>\n Newcastle, in the process, recorded a first top-flight double over the Red Devils since 1931 and their fifth victory in six meetings against the visitors.<\/p>\n Keane was the first to recognise that the ‘table doesn’t lie’ after Newcastle qualified for the Champions League and the Irishman took aim at Manchester United for being a ‘disgrace’.<\/p>\n “Up at Newcastle they were saying, ‘We’ve got a second-leg against Lyon’,” he recalled in behind the scenes footage released by the Overlap released this week. “You’ve always got another game to worry about.<\/p>\n “You make that many changes and you’re still rubbish. You’re 3-0 up from the first leg, the game is not until Thursday night and they’re like, ‘Oh we’ve got…’ What are you doing? What mindset is that?”<\/p>\n Featuring stunning photography, reaction from players, staff and fans, and a fantastic double-sided poster, this must-have souvenir is the perfect way to re-live an unforgettable moment in Newcastle United\u2019s history.<\/p>\n Order your copy NOW<\/a><\/p>\n Here at ChronicleLive, we are dedicated to bringing you the best Newcastle United<\/a> <\/strong>coverage and analysis.<\/p>\n Make sure you don’t miss out on the latest NUFC news by joining our free WhatsApp group.
