Manchester United's Anthony Martial scored a double and Mason Greenwood added a rocket to secure a 4-1 win against Newcastle on December 26, 2019, lifting the mood at Old Trafford after recent struggles.
The win came after Manchester United slumped to a 2-0 defeat at lowly Watford the previous weekend, raising fresh questions about manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's ability to inspire his players.
However, Martial rode to Solskjaer's rescue with the equaliser in the 24th minute, and Greenwood's thunderbolt put United ahead before Marcus Rashford rounded off a first-half blitz.
Martial netted again after the interval as United ended a two-match winless run in the Premier League and moved into seventh place, just four points behind fourth-placed Chelsea in the race to qualify for the Champions League.
