It is unusual for such a big club to defend itself at its own stadium, but the end justified the means - Manchester United beat Newcastle 1-0 at Old Trafford, in the only match this year played on Boxing Day, the traditional football day on the Island.
The "Devils" fans will still be satisfied with the victory, considering how their favorites have been playing lately, and also bearing in mind that they played against a strong rival without their best player, Bruno Fernandes.
It was the Dane's first goal in a Manchester United shirt.
The "Magpies" had many such, even more dangerous, shots, especially in the second half - not a single one ended up in the net.
With a lot of effort, but also a fighting spirit, Ruben Amorim's team preserved the victory - and came in 4th place in the standings ahead of tomorrow's other matches of the 18th round.
