Newcastle beat Manchester United in a league game at Old Trafford for only the second time since 1972 to condemn their hosts a third straight home loss in all competitions for the first time in more than 60 years.
Not since Sir Matt Busby's days in the 1962-63 season have Manchester United lost three home games in a row.
But early goals from Alexander Isak and Joelinton gave Eddie Howe's men a thoroughly deserved victory that left them fifth in an impressive end to 2024.
Newcastle have won their last four Premier League games, with the excellent Isak taking his tally to 12 and his recent strike rate to eight in six games, with six in successive games.
