Comments:

League position: 2nd Manchester United had now won seven consecutive home games in the Premier League; their longest such run since March 2013. United conceded from open play at Old Trafford in the Premier League for the first time since New Year's Eve in 2016 (21 hours and 37 minutes playing time). After scoring 11 goals in his first ten games for United, Romelu Lukaku ended a run of seven games without a goal. Manchester United manager José Mourinho said: “We didn’t start well but I don’t blame my players, I blame in the positive sense, I blame Benitez. He is very experienced, very intelligent. Their team was very well organised, they start very well, creating us problems, we couldn’t play sometimes in our defensive areas. But the goal was like a wake-up call and the team reacted very, very, well and very strong."

League position: 11th Newcastle United conceded two goals before half-time in this game after conceding only one first-half goal in their opening 11 games in this Premier League season. They became the first away team to score in the Premier League at Old Trafford in this season with Dwight Gayle becoming the first away scorer in the Premier League at Manchester United since Gylfi Sigurdsson for Swansea City on 30 April 2017. Rafa Benitez failed in his attempt to become the first manager to win Premier League away games at Old Trafford with three different clubs. Newcastle United manager Rafa Benitez said: "I think it is quite a simple analysis, a really good first-half for 90 minutes. Everything was right and we worked hard. We had a clear idea of what to do and done well. Then we conceded a goal, the second one made the difference in terms of our mentality. We did have a chance from Hayden later on but we couldn’t score."
