Isak turned Varane smartly on the edge of the D and slipped an excellent through pass towards Guimaraes on the right side of the area. He stood up a deep cross towards Saint-Maximin, who headed it powerfully back across goal to give Willock a simple close-range header for Magpies first goal.
In the 88th minute, Trippier put in yet another brilliant ball, and Wilson got in front of Lindelof to flick an accomplished header past de Gea to put the game at 2-0 and beyond the reach of Manchester United.
The result meant Newcastle have now climbed to the 3rd position on the log and pushed Manchester United to fourth position.
Although both teams are locked on 50 points, Newcastle are in third position courtesy of a better goal difference.
