Alexis Sanchez late goal rescue Man United from Newcastle defeat

Alexis Sanchez scored a dramatic late winner as Manchester United came from 2-0 behind to complete a thrilling 3-2 victory over Newcastle United at Old Trafford.

Amid speculation that Jose Mourinho is set to be sacked by the board this weekend, United made a horrific start as goals from Kenedy on seven minutes and Yoshinori Muto three minutes later put the visitors two goals clear.
After witnessing one of the worst first-half performances at Old Trafford in recent history Mourinho changed to a back-three at the break, with Paul Pogba placed at the heart of defence. And the response was immediate.

The hosts spurned a couple of great chances before Juan Mata netted a beautiful free-kick on 70 minutes and Anthony Martial levelled matters on 76 minutes after a lovely move involving Pogba.

With the clock ticking down, substitute Sanchez made the winning contribution as he nodded home in the final minute of normal time to seal a dramatic three points for United - and perhaps save the job of their manager.
