Manchester United had just one win coming into the game but had a good record against Leicester City. With a change in leadership showcasing on the pitch, United got off to an early lead in the 17th minute when Bruno Fernandes received a backheel from Amad Diallo. Fernandes made his shot in the bottom-left corner.
Just as the first half was nearing the end, Fernandes almost headed his second goal with Noussair Mazraoui’s cross from the left flank, but failing to connect well, the ball rebounds from Victor Kristiansen’s for United’s second goal. During the second half, United’s main aim was to not let the lead slip away. Alejandro Garnacho scored United’s third goal, with a 20-yard strike with a good assist from Fernandes. United were able to win without conceding and winning their first Premier League game under Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Newcastle started much stronger in the second half, scoring within nine minutes after the game resumed, with Alexander Isak recording his fourth goal in as many games across the competition. Joelinton then put his side in the lead with a pinpoint assist from Isak. Harvey Barnes scored the third goal for Newcastle with Sandro Tonali’s assist.

Visitors were patient with their strike until Sammie Szmodics found the back of the net in the 31st minute after a well-timed pass from Liam Delap. Delap then got on the scoring board during the closing minutes after Szmodics missed out on scoring his second.
Tottenham came back from the break with more pressing and were giving themselves quite a few chances, while Ipswich too missed a couple of chances narrowly. The hosts scored their first when Rodrigo Bentancur headed into the goal from a corner pass by Pedro Porro. However, Ipswich were able to keep the Spurs in check and maintained the scoreline of 1-2, taking home their first three points in the season.
Manchester United win 3-0 against Leicester City while Ipswich Town take home their first win of the season. Newcastle enter international break in number eighth place. Football Sports News: Latest Cricket News, Cricket Live Score, Sports Breaking News from Sports Today
