Manchester United 4 Newcastle 1: Paul Pogba played like he was never away

Paul Pogba was Jose Mourinho's saviour as Manchester United came from behind to beat Newcastle 4-1 at Old Trafford.

A slip from Victor Lindelof allowed Dwight Gayle to hand Newcastle a shock early lead - the first Premier League goal United have conceded at home this season - but Pogba inspired a comeback win for the Red Devils.

The France midfielder - back after two months on the sidelines due to a hamstring injury - assisted Anthony Martial to level the game eight minutes from the interval, and Chris Smalling headed in an Ashley Young cross in added time to send United into half-time in front.

United were in attacking mode after the break, and Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford combined to tee up Pogba for a simple finish on 54 minutes.

Lukaku had been thwarted numerous times by some outstanding Magpies defending, but finally got his goal as he thrashed home from close range after a fine touch from Juan Mata.
