Man Utd edge ugly encounter

Manchester United gained a vital 1-0 victory against Newcastle thanks to Ashley Young's late strike, but the match was overshadowed by allegations of spitting against Jonny Evans and Papiss Cisse.

Tim Krul's inspired form kept the visitors at bay until the 89th minute but it was the Dutchman’s error that handed three points to the visitors when he passed the ball straight to Young to tap into an empty net.

Louis van Gaal's side stay fourth after extending a run that has seen them lose just twice in 22 games in all competitions but defender Evans, as well as Newcastle striker Cisse could face FA action for their involvement in a first-half altercation.

After the duo were caught in a tangle for the ball, Evans appeared to spit in Cisse's direction, before the striker seemed to respond in similar fashion.

Referee Anthony Taylor didn't see the incident and also denied a strong penalty claim for Newcastle when Chris Smalling tripped Emmanuel Riviere in the box just 10 minutes in.
