Magpies just a blot on horizon for MU

LONDON: Manchester United took another big step towards a third straight English title after coming from behind to beat Newcastle 2-1 on Wednesday evening and reclaim a seven-point lead at the top of the table.

Wins for Liverpool and Chelsea 24 hours earlier had encouraged thoughts of the title battle being opened up once more, which were further encouraged by Peter Lovenkrands 9th-minute opener for Newcastle.
