Manchester United 0-3 Newcastle United: Match Report

A much-changed Toon side completely outclassed the hosts, as pressure grows on Erik ten Hag following back-to-back 3-0 home defeats. 

Goals from Miguel Almiron, Lewis Hall, and Joe Willock completed an almost perfect evening for Newcastle, with the game only marred by an early injury to Matt Targett. 

Eddie Howe rang the changes from the weekend's 2-2 draw against Wolves, with the likes of Matt Ritchie, Paul Dummett and Emil Krafth in from the cold, while Willock and Joelinton returned from injury. 

It was perhaps Newcastle's teenage full-backs that impressed the most, as Valentino Livramento and Lewis Hall both starred and emphasised the bright future at St James' Park. 

It was the right-back, signed from Southampton in the summer, that created Newcastle's first goal on 28 minutes. 

After bringing an end to a home attack, Livramento carried the ball past three home players on a sensational run, before providing the perfect pass for Almiron to score. 

It was 2-0 just eight minutes later as boyhood Newcastle fan Hall scored his first goal for the club. 

A cross from Willock was headed out to the edge of the box and the Chelsea loanee's volley beat Andre Onana and found the bottom corner. 

Mason Mount fired a rare United shot at goal but it was comfortable for Martin Dubravka. 

Howe called on his regulars to help see the game out at Old Trafford and it was game over on the hour mark, as Willock marked his return from injury with an impressive goal. 

The former Arsenal midfielder picked the ball up in the middle of the park and drove towards goal, before unleashing a fierce shot that left the hapless Onana completely stranded. 

After successes against both Manchester clubs in the cup thus far, Howe's side will be looking to go one step further than last season and end the long wait for a trophy. 

A trip to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea awaits in the quarter-final.
