Newcastle United beat Manchester United 1-0 at St. James’ Park yesterday.
Shay Given has expressed his delight at Newcastle United’s victory over Manchester United yesterday.
Newcastle picked up their best win of the season on Sunday afternoon, as they got past United.
The Magpies scored their goal through Matt Ritchie and defended brilliantly to pick up the three points.
Newcastle have now moved up to 13th place in the Premier League table, and taken a giant leap closer to safety.
Given was delighted for his former side, and praised goalkeeper Martin Dubravka for putting in a brilliant debut.
Dubravka was in wonderful form for Newcastle on his first appearance after signing on loan for Rafael Benitez’s side, with his performance drawing much praise.
The Slovakian stopper looks likely to continue in goal for Newcastle for the remainder of the season now, as the Tynesiders aim to survive in the Premier League.
The Magpies are next in action against fellow strugglers Bournemouth in two weekends’ time.
