Eddie Howe saluted one of Newcastle\u2019s best performances of the season after watching them beat Manchester United to end a gruelling week on a high.<\/p>\n

Four days after suffering late heartache in a 1-1 Champions League draw with Paris St Germain, having dispatched Premier League rivals Chelsea 4-1 before heading for France, the Magpies secured a 1-0 league victory over the men from Old Trafford at St James\u2019 Park.<\/p>\n

Asked if that represented the perfect ending to a testing week, head coach Howe said: \u201cYes it is. I think that\u2019s one of our best performances of the season, for me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought we were very, very good on and off the ball and when you consider the week we\u2019ve had and the difficult games we\u2019ve had, the end of the game in Paris, what a response from the group of players.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anthony Gordon\u2019s 55th-minute strike from Kieran Trippier\u2019s cross ultimately secured the points on a night when Newcastle largely dominated without reward until his intervention.<\/p>\n

Having been robbed of victory by a contentious stoppage-time penalty in Paris, they were spared further pain when Harry Maguire inadvertently turned Antony\u2019s shot past substitute goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, but from an offside position.<\/p>\n

Gordon has now scored in each of his last four league games on Tyneside and taken his tally for the season to six goals to reap the rewards of his hard work on the training pitch.<\/p>\n

Howe said: \u201cHe himself has really worked on that.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really pleased because I thought he played really well at the start of the season, but every attacker needs to score, needs to have that feeling and that confidence that that brings.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt elevates your game, not just the goals, but he\u2019s getting assists as well. He\u2019s involved in match-winning moments.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought he played really well again today. It was a really good cross from Kieran, a good team move and a good finish.\u201d<\/p>\n

The only disappointment for Howe was that goalkeeper Nick Pope, who has played such a key role in the club\u2019s recent success, suffered a dislocated shoulder late in the game and may now need surgery.<\/p>\n

Asked how long he might be sidelined, the 46-year-old said: \u201cIt\u2019s too early to say. He was in pain when the shoulder was out of its joint. It\u2019s been put back in now and he feels much more comfortable.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll seek specialist opinion, but it doesn\u2019t look good.\u201d<\/p>\n

It proved a difficult night for the visitors, who have now lost to the Magpies in their last three encounters and rarely looked like avoiding that fate until a late flurry.<\/p>\n

Manager Erik ten Hag said: \u201cToday we have to say \u2018credit to Newcastle\u2019. After the start, where we could have scored with (Alejandro) Garnacho, they were better than us, they were more proactive.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had to go back, we had to defend and we did that. We allowed them one goal, but at the end, we fought back, we had two good opportunities, but unluckily we could not take a point from here.\u201d<\/p>\n

England international Marcus Rashford in particular cut a frustrated figure and was replaced by Rasmus Hojlund with 29 minutes remaining.<\/p>\n

Asked about Rashford\u2019s form, Ten Hag said: \u201cHe works hard and he is investing a lot. He will get back, he will recover and he\u2019s got all our support.\u201d<\/p>\n
