Manchester United's miserable turn of the annum continued into 2012 itself as Newcastle United emulated Blackburn Rovers on New Year's Eve by putting three goals past the champions to inflict a damaging defeat.
Despite the return of Rio Ferdinand, Ryan Giggs, and Wayne Rooney, the Reds were second best this morning at the Sports Direct Arena where the Magpies scored in each half with exquisite strikes from Demba Ba and Yohan Cabaye. The third and final nail wasn't quite in the same class - Phil Jones scored an own goal, taking the score to 3-0 (that's right, own goals don't help one to advance - this isn't Barbados v Grenada 1994). Three players were booked.
