Manchester United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir endured a night to forget as his costly error gifted Newcastle United their fourth goal in a humiliating 4–1 defeat at St. James' Park.
The Turkish shot-stopper, starting in place of André Onana, misplaced a pass straight into the path of Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimarães, who calmly slotted home to cap off a dominant performance by the home side. Guimarães then delivered a statement celebration, copying Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic “I’m here” pose, sending the crowd into a frenzy.
Match Summary and Goalscorers
The game began with Newcastle on the front foot, and Sandro Tonali opened the scoring in the first half, converting after a sweeping move. Manchester United responded when Alejandro Garnacho equalized before the break, giving the visitors a brief lifeline.
However, the second half belonged entirely to the Magpies. Harvey Barnes scored twice, exploiting United’s fragile defence, including a mix-up involving right-back Noussair Mazraoui. The evening went from bad to worse for Erik ten Hag’s side when Bayindir’s mistake allowed Guimarães to seal the 4–1 scoreline.
A Night of Frustration for United
Bayindir’s blunder summed up a dismal showing from Manchester United, whose defensive lapses and lack of intensity left them chasing shadows. The result deepens the club’s crisis, confirming their worst-ever Premier League campaign.
For Newcastle, the emphatic victory keeps their European hopes alive and marks their first league double over Manchester United since 1931 — a historic night capped off with style and swagger.
