# Manchester United Draws with Newcastle, Rashford's Last-Minute Save Steals Point
In a thrilling encounter at Old Trafford, Manchester United and Newcastle United shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw. Both teams displayed attacking intent, but the match turned on a late intervention from Manchester United's star striker, Marcus Rashford.
The first half was dominated by United, who pressed high and looked to exploit Newcastle's defense. However, the visitors remained compact and relied on set-pieces to create chances. The closest they came was a header from Sandro Tonali that rattled the crossbar.
The second half saw both teams create clear opportunities. Newcastle had the ball in the net early in the half when Alexander Isak converted a penalty after a handball decision against Rasmus Hojlund. United responded quickly, and Rashford equalized with a clinical finish from a counter-attack, slotting the ball past Nick Pope.
As the clock ticked down, Rashford once again proved to be the hero. With just three minutes left, he sprinted into the box and made a crucial save on a one-on-one chance by Isak. The Newcastle striker thought he had won it, but Rashford's reflexes denied him. The last-minute save ensured United walked away with a point despite being the underdogs.
The draw leaves both teams still searching for consistency, but Rashford's heroics will undoubtedly be the talking point. His ability to snatch a point from Newcastle cements his status as a key player for Manchester United.
