Reuters Matt Ritchie lifted the gloom on Tyneside with the winner in Newcastle United's crucial 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday -- their first three-point haul at home since October. Newcastle had fallen into the bottom three before kickoff after Huddersfield Town's earlier win over Bournemouth, but they responded with a vibrant display capped by Ritchie's 65th minute effort. Ritchie was released into space by Dwight Gayle's flick and he buried a low shot past David de Gea. Newcastle's first win over United for five years lifted them from 18th to 13th while Jose Mourinho's second-placed side are now 16 points behind local rivals Manchester City and looking over their shoulders at the teams behind them.
