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.

<b>FULL-TIME. Newcastle 3-0 Man Utd.</b> What a cracking game and Newcastle have deserved this win. Ba was immense and United could not cope with the Toon's aerial threat all night.

Coloccini gets in ahead of Nani and he's been a rock at the back. On a wet and windy night, the Magpies have shone the brightest tonight.

Giggs loses out and Obertan has a little run with Santon.

Two more minutes left for a famous win for Newcastle...

Newcastle fans are raising the roof (if there was one). United look completely beaten and heads have dropped.

That just about sums it up for United tonight. A horrible goal and the Red Devils will stay behind rivals City.

Lindegaard thought he would leave it, Jones went for it, and the ball spun into the net. 3-0!

Valencia runs, but Tiote is there and he gets it away. A very impressive performance at both ends from him tonight.

Giggs finds space and gets it across to Nani. His cross (as it has been all night) is poor and Krul catches easily.

Anderson gives it away and Best can run at the defence. Carrick brings him down.

Great ball over the top and Welbeck has got the other side of Coloccini. His touch is heavy and Krul comes to claim, but that was a close shave.

Santon bursts away again and he's been bright. However, his final ball lets his down and United break.

Newcastle dropping deeper and just looking to hold onto their lead.

Giggs with an arrowed diagonal ball, but Coloccini comes across and heads away. He has been very impressive all night.

United are pushing for a goal now and even Rio is up there looking for scraps.

Best charges in on Lindegaard. He very nearly closed him down but the keeper hacks clear just in time.

Best was pushed, but there was no foul and Hernandez is caught offside with the chipped ball over again.

Santon with a great defensive header as Giggs floats the ball in. Ba again holds it up and keeps the ball. Great work.

Krul comes and punches away from over Hernandez. Coloccini gets ahead of Welbeck to stab the ball away.
