Manchester United edged past Newcastle United 1-0 at St. James’ Park in the Premier League this evening.
Tottenham Hotspur legend Gary Lineker believes that Manchester United were “lucky” to win against Newcastle United this evening.
The Red Devils won the Premier League clash at St. James’ Park 1-0, thanks to Ashley Young’s goal in the 89th minute.
Former Tottenham striker Lineker was following the game, and he posted the following message on social networking site Twitter after full time.
Former United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar was also watching the match, and he made a similar remark about United’s performance.
As in previous games, United did not play well and struggled to break down Newcastle, but eventually they picked up the three points.
The Manchester outfit had 67% of the possession, had 11 shots of which five were on target, and one corner.
However, at the end of the day, it is the result that matters, and United got that perfectly right.
The Reds are now fourth in the Premier League table with 53 points from 28 matches, two points clear of Liverpool, who are fifth at the moment.
