Cavani to the rescue as Manchester United holds Newcastle to draw at St James’ Park

Newcastle United grabbed a crucial point against Manchester United in their Premier League match at St James’ Park on Monday night.

Despite the fact that the Red Devils will feel they should have won,

With a wonderful run and finish in the seventh minute, Allan Saint-Maximin put the Magpies ahead.

In the second half, the Frenchman had a chance to extend their lead, but David de Gea denied them. With a dented strike from close range, Edinson Cavani equalised for the Red Devils.

Newcastle, on the other hand, were unfazed and came within inches of scoring when Jacob Murphy hit the post and Miguel Almiron saw an effort well saved by De Gea.

Eddie Howe’s team performed admirably and will be encouraged by their efforts, though injuries to Callum Wilson and Saint-Maximin will be a major concern.

Newcastle will play Everton next in a Premier League match on Thursday, while Manchester United’s next match is against Burnley on the same day.
