Five memorable victories over Newcastle

Our visitors from the North East have only triumphed once at the Theatre of Dreams since 1972, while the Reds have enjoyed big victories, stirring comebacks and 90th-minute winners amid some absolute classic contests.

Here we’ve selected five of our most memorable home wins against the Magpies in the Premier League…

UNITED 5 NEWCASTLE 1 | AUGUST 1999

The Reds hosted the managerless Magpies early in the 1999/2000 season, with Ruud Gullit having lost his job following a home defeat to local rivals Sunderland.

It didn’t take long for the Treble winners to get going, when a lovely exchange between Dwight Yorke and David Beckham put ex-Newcastle forward Andy Cole through on goal, who slotted home for his first of the afternoon.
