Man Utd 1-1 Newcastle

Aug 18, 2008

Manchester United made an unconvincing start to the defence of their Premier League title as they were held at Old Trafford by an impressive Newcastle.

The hosts were denied a penalty when James Milner appeared to handball, but Newcastle took a first-half lead when Obafemi Martins powered home a header.

Manchester United levelled only two minutes later when Darren Fletcher converted Ryan Giggs’ left-wing cross.

Nemanja Vidic headed against the bar, but Newcastle fully deserved a point.
