In a game of contrasting fortunes, Manchester United's Patrick Dorgu scored the winning goal in a 1-0 victory over Newcastle, lifting the Red Devils to fifth in the Premier League table. Despite being without injured captain Bruno Fernandes and other key players, United's Ruben Amorim made strategic changes that paid off. Dorgu's first goal for the club since joining from Lecce nearly a year ago came at the 24th minute, connecting beautifully with a looping ball on his left foot. Newcastle dominated the second half but struggled to break United's defense, which secured its second clean sheet of the season. The win leaves United level on points with Chelsea in fourth place, while Newcastle remains in 11th position. Amorim's decision to switch to a back four and utilize Dorgu in a more attacking role proved to be the turning point in the game. Despite Newcastle's pressure, United's defense held strong, and the visitors were unable to capitalize on their opportunities. The victory marks United's first home win in two months and showcases the team's resilience despite being shorthanded. The win also comes as a boost to United's chances of a top-four finish, while Newcastle's away woes continue, with just two wins in 12 games on the road. The Magpies' struggles on the road have been a recurring issue throughout the season, and this latest loss will add to their frustration.
