Romelu Lukaku, Manchester United Win 4th Straight; Beat Newcastle in EPL

Make it four wins in a row for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United.

The Red Devils started their 2019 on a high note, defeating Newcastle 2-0 on Wednesday behind second-half substitute Romelu Lukaku, who slotted home the game-winner in the 64th minute, less than a minute after he was brought into the contest.

Marcus Rashford would double the advantage 15 minutes later, as United sliced Newcastle open on the counter.

The game's first goal was more a touch of sloppy keeping from Martin Dubravka than a moment of genius from Lukaku, as the Newcastle goalkeeper stopped Rashford's free kick but spilled the rebound right in front of the net, where Lukaku pounced.
