Matt Richie’s 65th minute strike was enough to earn Newcastle United all three points and take the club out of relegation zone.
Newcastle United’s Matt Ritchie celebrates his goal against Manchester United
Beating Manchester United who had lost just once in their last five games seemed like asking too much from a Newcastle side that languished at 18th position prior to kick-off.
It however turned out to be one of those days where a lone goal will be the decider. Matt Ritchie who had not scored all season pounced on a loose ball and fired beyond De Gea who could do little or nothing to stop it.
Benitez’s side has endured a torrid season having to deal with lack of activity during the transfer window and flirting with the possibility of an immediate return to championship football. But all that didn’t seem to matter when Ritchie put his foot to the ball.
