Newcastle United 3-3 Manchester United: Last-gasp Dummett salvages draw in St James's Park thriller

Paul Dummett scored a last-gasp equaliser to deny Manchester United victory against Newcastle United in a thrilling 3-3 draw at St James's Park.

In a controversial and thrilling contest, Wayne Rooney's penalty and a Jesse Lingard strike had the visitors two goals ahead, but Georginio Wijnaldum got one back prior to half-time.

Newcastle dominated the second period and Aleksandar Mitrovic won a penalty after tussling with Chris Smalling, converting it himself.


Rooney netted with a stunning finish with 11 minutes remaining, but that would not be enough for victory as Dummett's deflected effort at the death earned Steve McClaren's side a crucial point. 

The result sees Newcastle, who stay in the bottom three, end a three-match run of Premier League defeats without scoring a goal, while Louis van Gaal's fifth-placed side have now only won one of their last eight.
