Newcastle United had a fantastic Sunday, defeating Manchester United 1-0 at St James' Park in the English Premier League.

Matt Ritchie was the goal hero on the afternoon, burying a loose ball in the box in the second half, sending the Magpies supporters into raptures and securing his side a vital three points.

The win eases their fears of relegation and sees them move up into 13th position, albeit just two points above the drop.

Newcastle fans were overjoyed with the performance and had particular praise for Jonjo Shelvey, who produced a dominating midfield display that put more illustrious names like Paul Pogba to shame.

The 25-year-old has been criticised by supporters this season for inconsistent performances but if he can string together more displays like that then the Magpies will have no concerns about relegation come the end of the season.

Fans took to Twitter to enthuse about his display against the Red Devils...
