Helluva game, Newcastle-Man U. Never saw so many outstanding plays in what sounded like a dreary match between a relegation threatened club and an equally embarrassing "second place" club 16 points out.
Martin Dubravka. Holly hell Martin Dubravka. Newcastle's keeper was bullet proof. This should have been 3-1, 4-1 United but for Dubravka.
Nemanja Matic. You will never see a better ball than this:
Nemanja Matic threaded that ball betwixt two Rooks right onto the toe of in-stride Anthony Martial who was thus all alone on Martin Dubravka. Dubravka saved.

But then there was Alexis Sanchez. Sanchez was sent clean through on goal, Martin Dubravka was flat on his back away from the play and Sanchez hesitated, for some inexplicable reason he hesitated to release the shot for a split second and a Rook got back to block the shot. Oh! Sanchez!
goal
But nooooo. Sanchez retracts his leg and squares himself while two Rooks blur in recovery.
Which one of them does did. He who hesitates is lost, Sanchez.
