In a quick turn around at Old Trafford fantastic goals from Juan Mata and Anthony Martial brought Manchester United level with Newcastle.

After their disastarous start to the match left them 2-0 down Jose Mourinho's side rallied to level proceedings at home

The first goal came after Mo Diame fouled Martial on the edge of the box. Mata vindicated his manager's decision to bring the Spaniard on for Eric Bailly after 19 minutes.

He curled a lovely freekick over the wall which dipped into the net to begin the comeback.

Minutes later they were level, a beautiful piece of interplay between Pogba and Martial on the left of the box saw the ball returned to the attacker via a deft backheel and he took a touch before finding the far corner with a curling effort.
