"It wasn't through a lack of effort, I thought we were very dominant in that second period. It was just the goal that was missing. I felt, if we scored, we could go on and win the game, but it didn't happen. We're hugely disappointed. I thought we started the game really well for the first 15 or 20 minutes, but I think we were slightly rocked by the goal."
"I don't think we responded well to that moment. I was a bit disappointed at half-time with our inability to grab control of the game. I thought it was there for us to take. I don't think there was a tactical problem for us at any stage of the game. We're disappointed with our actions in terms of trying to score and that final finish."
Newcastle United lost 1-0 to Manchester United at Old Trafford after Patrick Dorgu's first-half volley. Newcastle had two-thirds of possession and registered 16 shots but failed to convert late pressure into an equaliser. Lewis Hall hit the crossbar from distance and Anthony Gordon missed two decent opportunities. Newcastle have won just one of their last 12 Premier League away games (D4 L7), earning seven points in that span. Manager Eddie Howe said the second half was dominant but the team lacked a final finish and missed the momentum-shifting equaliser.
