Manchester United smashed 4 past Newcastle, 2 of them coming in a second half that they completely dominated against a Magpies side that did ever so well to make the match a tight affair in the first 45.
Zlatan's back, Lukaku's scoring again... but most importantly of all, Paul Pogba's back, he's got an assist, a goal, and generally showed everyone just why United plumped all that much money for him last year. They are simply a different side when the flamboyant Frenchman starts.
That's all from me, Anirudh Menon, thank you for reading!
90' From the corner, Zlatan zings past Yedlin and smashes a superb ball across the box that is just barely headed away by Newcastle. Herrera swings it back in and Fellaini's close range header is smacked straight into Elliot's midriff.
89' Ibrahimovic picks out Lukaku - who is playing right wing by the by - but the Belgian's cross back is headed out by Clark. Matic then picks out Ibra - who acrobatically smashes one that Elliot has to scramble to clear! WOOF!
88' Fellaini chests the ball. Fellaini wins a freekick. United play it quickly and Rashford attempts to pick out Ibrahimovic at the far post but it's got a bit too much for the Swede
84' There's more happening off the field, than on it, as Newcastle fans sing "Alan Shearer turned you down" and are greeted with "Alan Shearer took you down" in retort. Ah, football banter. Long may you live and prosper
83' United suddenly hasten things up but Young's ball into an expectant Newcastle box is woefully overhit. Juan Mata, meanwhile, is subbed off for Ander Herrera.
78' OOOO! Jonjo Shelvey is given plenty of time and space to take a shot from just outside the box and he curls the ball just wide of a furious De Gea and his far post.
77' Mo Diame is on for Newcastle, in place of Murphy... but it all pales in significance as ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC TROTS ON IN THE PLACE OF ANTHONY MARTIAL
74' Newcastle play the ball around the home sides box, but Mitrovic sends a pass straight to Young and the Red Devils race forward... Lukaku and Manquillo get into a tangle, though, and that's a freekick for Newcastle United
72' Newcastle make a substitution and Alexander Mitrovic is brought on for Joselu. United, though, are in the mood and scythe through Newcastle yet again - but this time Martial has run offside.
The Belgian eased past Clark, ran onto a lovely Mata ball, dummies a shot, sits Elliots down and ABSOLUTELY LEATHERS ONE INTO THE ROOF OF THE NET. NOW THAT WAS EMPHATIC.
68' Chris Smalling smashed into Isaac Hayden at the beginning of that Newcastle attack, and the 'veteran' Englishman is a touch lucky to walk away with just a yellow.
67' Aarons is on for Ritchie, but that makes little difference to Pogba as he looks to bully Hayden off the park, but Newcastle break at pace... Jacob Murphy races into space and smashes a decent shot at goal that De Gea saves with typical panache.
66' From awesome to comic in ten seconds, like only Jonjo Shelvey can... he brushed past Matic and raced past Smalling but just as he looked to pull it back he lost his footing and slammed into the advertising boardings behind United's goal.
