Newcastle dedicate their victory to Howe, stating, “We had to bring a smile to his face.” Newcastle’s players expressed their gratitude to the Toon Army following yet another victory at St James’ Park, a scenario that has become increasingly commonplace in the course of a season that is proving to be highly impressive.

 

 

 

 

Harvey Barnes, while holding the man of the match award, led the jubilant home supporters in applause after his two goals inspired a crushing 4-1 victory over Manchester United. Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali, who also scored, were close by. However, upon closer examination, there was one notable individual who was not present at the post-match festivities.

 

 

 

 

 

In a heartfelt tribute to Eddie Howe, the captain, Guimaraes, expressed his hope that this victory will bring him some joy and encourage him to return for the subsequent match. On Friday, Newcastle’s manager was hospitalised after experiencing symptoms of illness for several days. As a result, assistants Jason Tindall and Graeme Jones were responsible for managing the team’s victory over the Red Devils.

 

 

 

 

 

Newcastle’s players responded with an extraordinary performance, securing their first league double over their opponents since the 1930-31 campaign. However, all attention shifted to Howe following the game. The individual who engineered their Carabao Cup final victory over Liverpool at Wembley four weeks ago is still hospitalised, although the specifics of his condition are still unknown.

 

 

 

 

 

From his infirmary bed, Howe observes the victory. Tindall is more familiar with Howe than the majority of individuals, as he served as his assistant at Bournemouth. Tindall stated, “Eddie and I have collaborated for 17 years, and he has never been absent for more than a day or two. Therefore, it must have been difficult for him to be absent this week.” “Over the years, I have been subjected to criticism for my presence at the forefront with Eddie.

 

 

 

 

Perhaps that was the catalyst for today’s success.” Our performance was one that he would have been proud of. I am optimistic that he will return in the near future. “Our pressing included some exceptional football and some well-placed goals.” Tindall further stated that Howe, 47, had observed the game from his hospital bed and was sufficiently recovered to send a message of congratulations to the team.

 

 

 

 

 

The team had successfully defeated Ruben Amorim’s team to bolster their pursuit of a Champions League berth. “I have just received a message from him congratulating us,” he continued. “He was able to watch the game, and I am confident that it helped to elevate his mood.”

 

 

 

 

 

He was confident in our ability to make a decision, as we have been collaborating for an extended period. “He was able to communicate earlier in the week, and he subsequently placed his trust in all of us to deliver a performance that would be worthy of his praise. The boys exceeded his expectations.”What a peculiar week! Liverpool, the current leaders, have accrued 41 points, while Newcastle has accrued 36 points since December 14.

 

 

 

 

 

The Magpies have played two additional games during this time. The victory over Manchester United was Newcastle’s 12th in 16 league matches and their fourth consecutive victory. Newcastle will surpass Nottingham Forest and ascend to third place if they secure a home victory or draw against Crystal Palace on Wednesday, resulting in their fifth consecutive victory.

 

 

 

 

Barnes continued, “It has been an unusual week without the gaffer.” “We are aware that he would not be absent from games if he were not experiencing a severe illness.” Today, we entered the game with a clear understanding of the actions we needed to take. This week, his voice and influence have been absent. Thomas Tuchel, the manager of England, was present at St James’ Park to witness Newcastle’s fifth victory over Manchester United in six meetings since the EFL Cup final at Wembley in February 2023.

 

 

 

 

Barnes’ sole appearance for England to date was against Wales in 2020. The winger expressed his enjoyment of being on the pitch, stating, “I am currently playing with a smile on my face.” I am passionate about playing football and scoring goals; when you do so, you are unable to help but appreciate the experience.

 

 

 

 

This was also evident in the team. The day at the office was enjoyable. He further stated, “We have established ourselves in a favourable position in the table; however, we are treating each game as it arises.” We are confident that if we succeed in winning our remaining games, we will secure a spot in the top four.
