Hello and welcome to LIVE text commentary of the Premier League clash between Newcastle United and Manchester United. The visitors can move level with fourth-placed Tottenham and ease some of the pressure on manager, Louis Van Gaal with a victory, but know it won't be easy against a team that tends to raise themselves for the big boys. The Magpies may have lost their last four matches, but can point to December wins over Liverpool and Tottenham as proof that they are capable of beating anyone on their day. Kick off 7.45 pm GMT.

90+4'
FT: Newcastle 3-3 Manchester United. A sensational game comes to end as two sides criticised for lacking attacking adventure shared the spoils in one of the matches of the season so far. Man United will feel they should have taken the points having led 2-0 and 3-2. They also missed big opportunities at 2-1 and 3-2 to finish the job, but credit to Newcastle who brought an end to their losing streak with a last-gasp leveller from Dummett.
90+3'
Depay curves a left-wing free kick into a packed Newcastle area. De Jong nods it away. Man United still pressing.

NEWCASTLE SUB: Perez off, De Jong on.
90+1'
What a sensational match. Are we going to have another? There's still time. Four minutes added.
90'
GOAL!!!!!! Newcastle are level. It's 3-3. Sensational stuff. Man United fail to clear their lines and when the ball falls to Paul Dummett the full back sizzles a shot via a deflection off Smalling into the top corner.

Man United controlling the game now. Newcastle haven't shown much since Rooney's second of the night.

Fellaini really should have made it 4-2 there. It was on a plate, but credit to Elliot for making the block.

NEWCASTLE SUB: Toney on, Tiote off.

Superb stop! Elliot does well to deny Fellaini from close range. That would have sealed the match.

The buzz around St James' has been replaced by a loud chorus from the away end.

Two goals and an assist for Rooney.
79'
GOAL! Man United regain the lead! Rooney crashes in his second of the match with a magnificent 20 yard drive into the far corner after Depay's shot deflected into his path.
78'
Mitrovic tussles for the ball on the right of the area and engineers space for a shot which he miscues well wide.
77'
Newcastle could edge a point behind 17th-placed Swansea... but could yet get more here if they maintain their momentum.
76'
As it stands, Man United will drop to sixth as West Ham are now leading at Bournemouth.
