10-Man Newcastle Stun Manchester United with Late Osula Winner

Newcastle United delivered a resilient and dramatic performance to defeat Manchester United 2-1 at St James' Park on March 4, 2026, ending Michael Carrick's unbeaten run as interim manager.

The Magpies faced an uphill battle after Jacob Ramsey received a red card in first-half stoppage time for a second yellow card, widely debated as harsh. Despite playing with 10 men for the entire second half, Newcastle took the lead in the 45+6th minute when Anthony Gordon converted a confidently taken penalty.

Manchester United equalized shortly after through Casemiro's powerful header, capitalizing on set-piece pressure and restoring parity just before halftime.

The second half saw United dominate possession but struggle to break down a determined Newcastle defense. As the clock ticked into the 90th minute, substitute Will Osula produced a moment of brilliance—cutting inside from the right and curling a stunning left-footed strike into the far corner to secure a famous victory for the hosts.

The result snapped United's seven-match unbeaten streak under Carrick, who had guided the team to impressive wins and draws since taking interim charge. Newcastle's triumph highlighted their fighting spirit amid a challenging season, boosting morale at St James' Park.
