Manchester United 4 Newcastle United 3
United seized control of the title race as they extended their Premier League lead to seven points with another example of their remarkable resilience.

But United fought back each time as Evans, Patrice Evra and van Persie all struck before the irrepressible Hernandez slid home the winner in the last minute.
