00:00Manchester United were the visitors to St. James' Park on the 15th of September 2001
00:05Newcastle had begun their Premiership campaign solidly if unspectacularly
00:10and were in seventh place in the league
00:12Manchester United were second going into this game and had still to taste defeat after four matches
00:18Bobby Robson's side were fresh from a cut win over Brentford
00:21and Alan Shearer was full of confidence having scored twice in their last league game
00:25a win against Middlesbrough
00:27There were two changes from that Newcastle side
00:29in came defenders Andy Griffin and Andy O'Brien
00:32both for their first Premiership starts of the season
00:35Warren Barton and Aaron Hughes were the players omitted
00:41Sir Alex Ferguson's side were coming off the back of a good home win over Everton
00:46Andy Cole was back at the club where he first made his name
00:50he'd scored his first goal of the season in that win over the Toffees
00:55There were three changes altogether for United
00:58Back in came David Beckham, Ryan Giggs and Ruud van Nistelrooy
01:02in place of Luke Chadwick, Quinton Fortune and Dwight York
01:05as United looked to field their strongest possible side against the Magpies
01:11A wonderful atmosphere as always at St. James' Park
01:14Match commentary from Martin Tyler
01:18Black and white stripes the colours for Newcastle United
01:22Bobby Robson's 100th game in charge of the club that he used to follow as a boy
01:29And here's Laurent Robert, one of Robson's signings
01:33Slip might let him cheer up
01:37Well he couldn't have expected the chance to come that quickly
01:42Newcastle down to business right from the kick-off
01:59Lee can't keep it in
02:06Alberto Solano
02:13Still being questioned over problems with his passport
02:18It's his header
02:20And this time it's blocked on Shearer
02:28Newcastle within range of the Manchester United goal
02:32Because of a foul by the Frenchman
02:44We've got two set-piece specialists now
02:47Solano and Robert
02:51Traditionally favours the left-footer who is Laurent Robert
02:59And he takes it!
03:01Oh!
03:05Robert
03:08Rams it past Bartos
03:14Well there's impact here
03:17It's immediate in this match and it has been in a short time with Newcastle United
03:24Well Bartos might well have known what was coming from his fellow Frenchman
03:30But he could do nothing at all to stop it
03:43So Neville
03:45To Veron
03:50Back to Veron again
03:53The younger Neville again
03:56Andy Griffin who's inside
03:59His dogged approach at right back
04:01Particularly with gigs in mind you feel
04:04But Philip Neville was the wide man trying to take him on there
04:07Griffin did his job
04:10Key
04:20Beckham
04:23Newcastle have hardly had a kick since they scored
04:26And here's Giggs
04:27Oh!
04:29So, so close to 1-1
04:32And it was Van Nistelrooy
04:35Who was millimetres away
04:43Solano is a stray header from Gary Neville
04:46Shearer back towards Solano again
04:49Well it certainly looked as though Solano was impeded
04:54As he went for the return pass
04:58And this is Giggs
04:59Just when Newcastle were
05:02Yelling for a decision right on the edge of the Manchester United penalty area defending in their own area
05:10Veron
05:11Giggs
05:16Cole
05:18Van Nistelrooy
05:19Great turn 1-1
05:20Van Nistelrooy scored it
05:22Cole made it
05:28But it came pretty quickly after an incident in the
05:32Another half of the pitch on the edge of Manchester United's own penalty area
05:36They kept their concentration
05:39As the game was allowed to go on
05:41And Van Nistelrooy showed what a fabulous finisher he is
05:45And that he can work in tandem with Andrew Cole
05:49Giggs
05:58Bellamy
06:01Referee had a look across at his assistant
06:03It goes
06:05Against Newcastle again
06:12Cole
06:14Giggs
06:15Well you can hear what the majority think about
06:18Not just that last incident
06:20But the one prior to the equaliser
06:22Cumulative effect on the crowd
06:25Shearer
06:28Bellamy
06:31No one else really getting forward for Newcastle yet
06:33But Robert has arrived
06:39He really let fly
06:41But there
06:43Now through Shearer
06:45Newcastle having a word with the referee
06:47But Steve Benwick's got away from
06:51Alan Shearer
06:52And concentrating on the game going on
06:54As Shearer has to do himself
06:59Cole
07:05Aaron Theron got a bit too close
07:08To the Manchester United number 9
07:12There's still a real air of injustice
07:17This was the second incident
07:19Philip Neville
07:20And Bellamy
07:35Neville, Giggs
07:38And the dummy was great
07:39The return pass
07:40Has led to a mini
07:42Inquest
07:43Between Giggs and Cole
07:51Bellamy
07:53Shearer through the centre
07:55You'd expect that but that's not always where he's been
07:57So far in this game
07:58He's roamed and wandered and
07:59Moved defenders around
08:04Bellamy tries to turn past Brown
08:07Lee gets
08:09Within range
08:10Oh it bounced through Vartes
08:15A very rare
08:17Goal these days
08:19For Rob Lee
08:30And Vartes has to take the blame
08:35Over 3 years since Lee
08:37Last struck
08:38In the Premiership
08:41But he's picked
08:44A big day here
08:52Theron
08:55Brian Giggs starting deep
08:57With a great capacity to
09:00Cut into Newcastle here
09:02Van Nistelrooy
09:04Well he didn't connect cleanly
09:06And Shea Given was able to make the save
09:08Largely because of that
09:10Wonderful run by Giggs
09:12In the end it was a pretty comfortable save
09:14By Given
09:16And Nistelrooy could have
09:18Equalised for a second time
09:25Beckham's corner
09:30Theron who didn't hit it clean
09:32A good
09:33South American challenge there
09:36Between Acuna from Chile
09:37And Varon from Argentina
09:45All part of the
09:47Cosmopolitan world
09:48That is the FA Barclaycard Premiership
09:52He's been called a free kick
09:53To Manchester United
09:54Beckham's taken it
09:56Oh my goodness
09:58Blanc made a run towards the near post
10:00Blanc made a run towards the near post
10:03More as a distraction than anything else
10:07The ball just kept on going
10:13Beckham
10:17Theron
10:19Giggs
10:24Nothing got in the way
10:26Manchester United's throw
10:28It's a
10:29Last scheduled minute
10:30Of the first half
10:32Taking into account time added on
10:40Theon
10:51Beckham
10:55Foot was raised
10:56Beckham was
10:57Protesting
10:59Steve Bennett letting the game go
11:01And let Robé go
11:03Solano
11:05He's got Bellamy to his right
11:06Solano goes for goal
11:08And Martez
11:09This time
11:11Very anxious to show
11:12That he's got everything behind it
11:1745 minutes of
11:18Fantastic football
11:21And at half time
11:22At St James' Park
11:23Newcastle 2
11:24Manchester United 1
11:48That's Alex Ferguson
11:52Who's that
11:55There is room for improvement
11:57For Manchester United in the second half
12:00Not really compact
12:01In the way that they defend
12:02They're certainly threatening
12:03When they get forward
12:04And they've got
12:07They thought a free kick here
12:08But
12:09I think the flag was up
12:11In the first place
12:12And offside goes Newcastle's way
12:17Brown
12:20Did just bounce up before
12:22Martez met it
12:23But he
12:25Followed through well
12:26Got plenty of power
12:27Plenty of height
12:28But not
12:29A huge amount of distance
12:37Griffin
12:39Solano
12:40And
12:41Barton able to pick it up
12:43To link
12:44With Shearer which he's done
12:45Back comes
12:46Philip Neville
12:47Who was the player
12:49Who was involved in that incident
12:50With
12:51Craig Bellamy
12:52When
12:53Newcastle were
12:55Yelling for a penalty
13:01Here is Bellamy
13:02With Philip Neville
13:04Alongside him
13:05And challenging for the ball
13:06It's a throw
13:07To Newcastle
13:18Solano's taken up
13:19A clever position
13:20Shearer
13:21But he leaves it
13:22And the shot was
13:24Taken by Bellamy
13:25Who came on to the ball
13:26Facing the goal
13:29Sentimental for Shearer
13:30To get out of the way
13:37The start of May
13:39This is the
13:40Thirteenth match of a
13:42Sequence
13:44Since then
13:46Not
13:50Defy the conventional
13:51Rules of superstition
13:53Bobby Robson was a bit
13:54Concerned chatteling about it
13:55Mentioning his hundredth
13:56Game as well
13:57He'd love to
13:58Beat Manchester United
14:00Whatever the occasion
14:02And Newcastle lead
14:032-1
14:04Solano's corner
14:06Acuna
14:09Back for Solano again
14:13By Brown
14:15Really
14:17Fizz back by Robert
14:20Almost
14:22Without
14:23Any apparent effort
14:27Solano
14:29Curving ball
14:31But he hasn't got it
14:32Cleanly in the first place
14:34There's Davies-Ass
14:35Who'd stayed forward
14:36And was up for the
14:37Original corner
14:41Bellamy
14:42Shearer
14:46And Bellamy's
14:47Just
14:49Caught Wes Brown out
14:50Slightly so that he could
14:51Get the ball back
14:52Corner
14:54Great movement by
14:55Bellamy
14:59Got a word in his ear
15:00From Philip Neville
15:04But
15:05It's a corner nonetheless
15:06For Newcastle
15:07Newcastle
15:11Championship's
15:12All-time leading scorer
15:13Alan Shearer
15:16He's one of those poised
15:18In black and white
15:22There again
15:24It's a goal
15:26It's given
15:27Is it?
15:28Yes it is
15:29It's Davies-Ass
15:38Well Robert
15:39Had the shot from outside
15:40The penalty area
15:44And the block came
15:45Davies-Ass' way
15:47There were some questions
15:48Being asked by
15:49Manchester United
15:52But they didn't get the
15:53Answers they wanted
16:08Back for Griffith
16:11Need to keep cool
16:12On the ball Newcastle
16:15Bellamy
16:18Make sure if
16:19Blanc missed it
16:20And there was a precious
16:21Little chance of that
16:23Attendance confirmed at
16:25Fifty-two
16:26Thousand and fifty-six
16:28Enthralled
16:29By this contest
16:31Between Newcastle United
16:32And Manchester United
16:34Elliott
16:35Free kick
16:38And Mr. Roy Dow
16:41Almost
16:43On the spot
16:45Where
16:46Robert
16:48Gave Newcastle the lead
16:50From the free kick from
16:51Just this position
16:55The Manchester United
16:56Left footer Ryan Giggs
16:59Is nowhere near the proceedings
17:00It's being left to
17:02David Beckham
17:03They need
17:05A touch or two
17:07Of magic now
17:08To Manchester United
17:14One of the biggest cheers of the day
17:16A clean catch by
17:17Shea Given
17:19Beckham got plenty of the
17:20Traditional
17:21Whip and dip
17:34Philip Neville
17:38Scoles
17:39Gary Neville again
17:40Has made some
17:42Excellent runs
17:43And his cross
17:44Reaches Ryan Giggs
17:48Well sweet as you like
17:49Especially if you follow
17:50Manchester United
17:52They know they're back in it
17:56But Gary Neville
17:57Very prominent
17:59And Ryan Giggs
18:00On his
18:01Four hundred and twenty
18:02Fiftieth
18:03Manchester United
18:04Appearance
18:05Scores
18:06For the club
18:07For the ninety second time
18:09And in this match
18:10At a pretty crucial time
18:11It's back
18:13To a one goal advantage
18:14For Newcastle
18:19Shearer
18:20Did well to reach it
18:21And there is support
18:23Manchester United
18:24A little slow to react
18:25Robert
18:26Bellamy
18:28Sure wasn't
18:30The ball was guided off
18:31To
18:33Beckham
18:42Keane
18:54Now Giggs
18:55Giggs again
18:56He's got two to his right
18:57He's got Van Nistelrooy
18:58Ahead of them
19:00Oh it's a wonderful
19:01Strike
19:03It's Ferron
19:05And Newcastle's
19:07Two goal lead
19:08Has been wiped out
19:10Really in a matter of moments
19:20Two tremendous
19:21Fouls
19:23Two tremendous
19:24First timers
19:26First from Giggs
19:27Who was involved
19:28In the move this time
19:30For
19:31Juan Sebastian
19:32Ferron
19:34Found the bottom corner
19:50Giggs
19:53Giggs
19:55It could have happened then
20:00More
20:02Electrifying passing
20:13Barton
20:16Looking a bit nervy there
20:17Those two for Newcastle
20:23Keane
20:36Bellamy
20:37Looking to take on Bloch
20:38He's passed him
20:39He's passed Brown
20:41And he sets up Solano
20:42For Newcastle
20:44Shearer
20:46Goal
20:48Newcastle United
20:50Are back in front
20:56Bellamy did so much
20:57Of the work
21:00And looked initially
21:01To
21:02Set up
21:04Norberto Solano here
21:07Barthez got a boot
21:08To it
21:09In went Shearer
21:11And via
21:12Brown
21:13In went the ball
21:14And it's in
21:15Brown
21:16In went the ball
21:28Giggs
21:35Brian Giggs
21:36Runs at Newcastle
21:39Scores
21:42Well
21:43Newcastle look across
21:44For a flag
21:45That wasn't raised
21:47Had Scoles put it in
21:48It would have been
21:49Level pegging again
21:50But he didn't put it in
21:53And he was onside
21:55It was Andy O'Brien
21:56Who played him onside
21:57Very good decision
21:58From the officials
22:14Fedon
22:15Giggs
22:17Scoles this time
22:19No
22:22Well
22:23Some Manchester United appeals
22:24That Paul Scoles
22:25Was
22:26Found as he got to the ball
22:28It's going to be a goal kick
22:29Not the penalty kick
22:30They were asking for
22:34Twice
22:35Scoles has had
22:37Great opportunities
22:38By his standards
22:44Robbie Robson
22:45I think trying to get a
22:46A change
22:47So that he can
22:48Run down the clock
22:56Acuna
22:57Solano
22:59And Bellamy's onside
23:01He's round Barthes
23:03Craig Bellamy
23:08Another moment
23:09To encapsulate the
23:11Enchanting nature of this
23:15Premiership match
23:19Right
23:20To the final kick
23:29Shearer
23:31Again heading for the corner
23:36To take up as much time
23:37As he's allowed
23:39And then the ball
23:40Was thrown at Shearer
23:41Then by Roy Keane
23:45Keane who was sent off here
23:48Last year
23:50In the 3-0 win
23:55And Roy Keane gets a red card again
24:03Manchester United going down
24:05With the wrong sort of fight
24:08I don't know why
24:09But Keane threw the ball at Shearer
24:11That started it
24:14And he goes off
24:15Once more
24:16With head bowed
24:17One hopes in shame
24:28On behalf
24:29Of a worldwide television audience
24:32Thank you
24:33To the players of Newcastle United
24:36And Manchester United
24:38And it's fair to say
24:39It's Manchester United
24:41And it's finished
24:42Fantastically for Newcastle
24:45They've beaten Manchester United
24:47By four goals to three
24:52A terrific win for Newcastle
24:54And their season was a success as well
24:57The Magpies finished
24:58Fourth in the table on 71 points
25:01Thereby securing qualification
25:02For the Champions League
25:07Manchester United
25:08In high standards
25:09Had a disappointing campaign
25:10For once
25:11Fortress Old Trafford
25:12Was very pregnable
25:13And they lost no fewer than six times
25:15In front of their own supporters
25:17Including a 1-0 reverse to Arsenal
25:19Which saw the Gunners
25:20Celebrate the Premiership title
25:22In the Red Devils' own backyard
