Gordon continues scoring streak at home to earn Newcastle win over Man United in EPL

NEWCASTLE, England (AP) — Anthony Gordon scored for the fourth straight home game for Newcastle to earn a 1-0 win over Manchester United in the English Premier League on Saturday.The winger tapped in from close range from Kieran Trippier’s cross in the 55th minute for the only goal of a game Newcastle dominated at St. James’ Park.It ended a run of three victories in a row without conceding for Man United, which was overtaken by Newcastle and dropped to seventh place.Already hit hard by a long list of absentees that is into double figures, Newcastle saw goalkeeper Nick Pope helped off in the 86th with a suspected dislocated left shoulder sustained when he dived to stop a ball that was blocked in front of him.“It’s looks bad,” Newcastle manager Eddie Howe said. “He’s done it before and had it operated on and come back successfully. But I don’t know what the future holds for him, I don’t know if he will need an operation or not.”Pope’s replacement, Martin Dubravka, let in a goal ...

Newcastle defies long injury list to earn dominant win over Man United. Arsenal leads by 4 in EPL

Ravaged by injuries and hurting from a cruel VAR call in midweek, Newcastle was hardly in ideal shape as the same 11 players were sent out by manager Eddie Howe for a third straight game for the English Premier League meeting with Manchester United on Saturday.You’d never have known.Newcastle’s dominant 1-0 win at St. James’ Park was testament to the unwavering spirit in a squad being stretched to the limit as the Saudi-owned club challenges for trophies on all fronts.At the same time, it was a reality check for Man United after its recent revival in the league marked by narrow, scrappy wins and sensational goals.Anthony Gordon’s 55th-minute goal proved to be enough for Newcastle, which — in the space of a week — has beaten Chelsea and Man United either side of being denied a famous Champions League win at Paris Saint-Germain because of a roundly condemned handball decision.“It’s been a massive week for us,” Gordon said. “The same 11 players have played three games on the bounce and...
