The quality of Manchester United shone through in the second half, after Newcastle started the game as the better of the two teams and took the lead early on through Gayle. However, United rallied and goals from Martial and Smalling saw them lead 2-1 at the break. The hosts were then terrific in the second half, straight from the off and goals from Pogba and Lukaku extended their lead and made it a comfortable victory, to move back into second position in the table.
