One rainy night in Tyneside could have made a big impact on this season's title race. How will Newcastle will cope without Ba?
A great result for Newcastle. It hasn't been a good festive period for them, but they have started off 2012 pretty well. United hardly looked like they were in and it's the first defeat by Newcastle in 10 years.
