Player ratings for the United side in their 3-3 draw against Newcastle at St. James Park
Manchester United were involved in a thrilling 3-3 draw against Newcastle on Tuesday night, which was anything but boring as their last games have shown.
United went ahead through a Wayne Rooney penalty early on before doubling their lead with a slick passing move which Jesse Lingard finished off. Georginio Wijnaldum pulled one back for Newcastle as the teams headed into the break with United leading.
In the second half, the Magpies came out all guns blazing and after a horrendous lapse in judgement by Chris Smalling, the defender gifted the hosts a penalty and their equaliser. The drama wasn’t over yet though, with Rooney rolling back the years with a stunning finish from outside the box only for Paul Dummett to break United hearts and equalise in the 90th minute in a game of the season contender.
