He won the League Cup and left Newcastle in… wait for it Manchester United!

He cleaned Newcastle from the first half and returned to the titles after six years n Manchester United (2-0)!

A goal by him Casemiro (33′) and one more of his Rashford (39′) was enough for Erik Ten Haag’s side to celebrate their first title since 2017, leaving the Magpies without a trophy since 1955!

The Red Devils scored twice after a great chance from Saint-Maximin and then managed their lead brilliantly, having further chances to put the icing on the cake. The Dutch coach begins his tenure in Manchester with a trophy, showing that he can become the coach the club is looking for, after the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson.

This year’s run has also been excellent for Eddie Howe’s side, who have reached a final after 24 years, giving the impression that it’s here to stay.

The match

The two teams entered the game very strongly, without, however, having any chance. This one came for United in the 13th minute. THE Weghorst he was in an excellent position in the Newcastle area, however the shot he made with his “bad” foot, the left, was weak and ended up in the hands of Karius.

In the 26th minute, Newcastle had a very good moment to open the scoring. Almiron found Tripper on the right, he made a sweet cross with him Sir to come in like a trailer and head in, but the ball ended up well over De Gea’s goal.

In the 32nd minute, the “magpies” missed another important opportunity. THE Saint Maximin he got possession of the ball in the United area, with an improbable dribble he released Dalot, but De Gea was in the right place to stop his attempted shot, while Guimaraes’ shot was then also wide.

A minute later, United were fortunate to open the scoring. After a foul by Luke Shaw, o Casemiro entered the path of the ball and beat Karius with a nailed header for 1-0!

At the beginning of the second half, the “red devils” lowered the tempo and did not let Newcastle threaten De Gea’s goal. The first good moment came in the 68th minute, when o Zoelinton he shot from a good position, the ball countered and reached him again, while in the second attempt Martines managed to clear for a corner.

United responded to the chances in the 74th minute. Rashford went on the counter-attack and attempted a powerful curling shot, but Karius was in a good position to clear.

In the dying minutes, Newcastle pushed for the goal that would put them back in the game, but his two efforts Murphy (84′, 87′) went out, with the second reminiscent of an execution… Roberto Carlos.
