Premier League: Edinson Cavani rescues a point for Manchester United against Newcastle (Highlights) 2021-2022

Newcastle United were held to a 1-1 draw against Manchester United at St.James Park on Monday night. 

It was the Magpies that took the lead when Allan Saint-Maximin's fine first-half goal had given Newcastle the opening goal in the seventh minute. 

But substitute Edinson Cavani scored a scarcely-deserved equaliser and it required some typical heroics from David de Gea to deny Miguel Almiron a late Newcastle winner.

Manchester United escaped with a draw, the first dropped points of the Rangnick regime, Eddie Howe was left frustrated, a night of promise and hope ending with Saint-Maximin and Callum Wilson injured.

The draw meant that Manchester United up the table - they stay seventh - while Newcastle remain one off the bottom in 19th, still two points from safety.
