Newcastle United secured a dominant 2-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, marking the Red Devils' worst home run since the 1970s. Meanwhile, Ipswich Town ended their home winless streak with a 2-0 triumph over Chelsea.
Newcastle United's Alexander Isak scored for the sixth straight Premier League game as Newcastle beat Manchester United 2-0 at Old Trafford on Monday to condemn Ruben Amorim’s side to its worst home run in the top tier since the 1970s. Relegation-threatened Ipswich beat Chelsea 2-0 to win at home for the first time this season, and Aston Villa and Brighton drew 2-2.
Newcastle’s commanding display marked the first time since February of 1979 that Man United has lost three home league games in a row. It was also the first time since 1962 that United has lost five league matches in the same calendar month. Isak started the misery for home fans with his eighth goal in six matches. The Sweden striker put Newcastle ahead with a header after four minutes and Joelinton doubled its lead 15 minutes later when he rose above Lisandro Martínez to head in a second. Isak had another effort disallowed after half an hour and Sandro Tonali hit the woodwork seconds later as Newcastle threatened to run riot. Amorim withdrew Joshua Zirkzee for Kobbie Mainoo before halftime but United looked toothless – and clueless – in what was a dismal display. The defeat was the fifth in eight league games since Amorim joined from Sporting Lisbon in November and left United in 14th place, seven points above the relegation zone.Chelsea started the day with the best away record in the league after leader Liverpool but it was trailing at Portman Road after just 12 minutes thanks to a mistake from goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen. The Scandinavian replaced Robert Sánchez in the Chelsea goal but he was adjudged to have fouled Liam Delap in the box and Delap got up to convert the penalty with aplomb. Chelsea pushed forward in search of an equalizer but it was Ipswich that doubled its lead early in the second hal
