"Newcastle opened the scoring through Anthony Gordon from the spot following a foul by Bruno Fernandes, before Casemiro scored an equaliser on the brink of half-time. In stoppage time, William Osula cut in from the right flank to catch Tyrell Malacia flat-footed before sending his curled effort past Senne Lammens."
"With over 1,100 votes registered, it was Bryan Mbeumo who came out on top with 43.79% of the vote. Mbeumo offered very little in attack and it didn't help that the rest of the attacking players were lacking end product on the night."
"Mbeumo is United's top scorer this season, but the Cameroon star has struggled since returning to the team after the Africa Cup of Nations. Mbeumo's last goal came almost a month ago on February 7 as United beat Tottenham 2-0 at Old Trafford."
Manchester United suffered a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Newcastle at St. James' Park, ending their 11-match Premier League unbeaten streak and marking their first loss under manager Michael Carrick. Anthony Gordon opened the scoring from a penalty after Bruno Fernandes fouled him, but Casemiro equalized before halftime. William Osula secured Newcastle's victory in stoppage time with a curled finish after exploiting Tyrell Malacia's defensive positioning. United fans voted Bryan Mbeumo as the most disappointing performer with 43.79% of votes, followed by Malacia at 30.75%. Mbeumo, the team's top scorer, has struggled since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations and missed a clear chance during the match.
