In the 29th round of the English Premier League, Newcastle hosted Manchester United at home, winning 2-1 in a dramatic and intense match. Interestingly, Eddie Howe's team managed to pull out three points despite playing with one man down for most of the match.
The meeting turned into a real test of character. For the hosts, Anthony Gordon opened the scoring from a penalty in extra time of the first half. Shortly after, Manchester United responded with Casemiro, equalizing the game. At that moment, many were preparing for a draw, but Newcastle made the final decision: substitute Osula scored the decisive goal in the 90th minute, blowing up the stadium.
