Jose Mourinho’s side scored three times in the final 20 minutes, as goals from Juan Mata, Anthony Martial and Alexis Sanchez eased the pressure on the United boss.

After such a promising start, which saw Kenedy and Yoshinori Muto put the visitors 2-0 up inside 10 minutes, the result will come as a huge blow for Rafa Benitez’s men, and leaves the Magpies 19th in the table with just two points from eight Premier League games.
