Manchester United produced a completely different performance in the second half to overcome a two-goal deficit in front of their home fans against Newcastle.

Kenedy scored the first goal of the game in 7th minute to everyone's surprise and the lead was soon doubled by Yoshinori Muto, much to the amusement of the home fans.

The home supporters at Old Trafford were incredibly silent as the away fans were at their full voice to cheer for their team. Jose Mourinho was captured rushing into the dressing room at halftime to give instructions to his side in order to turn the game around.

United looked like a completely different side in the second half as they started to dictate the proceedings and control the flow of the game. Their first goal came in the form of a splendid freekick from Juan Mata in the 70th minute and Magpies' lead soon vanished as Anthony Martial equalized for the home side, six minutes later.

As the game was heading towards a draw, one of Mourinho's subs in Alexis Sanchez headed home the winner in dying moments of the game to secure a memorable comeback victory for the hosts.
