BBC Match of the Day MOTD

Gary Lineker presents highlights of the first Premier League games of 2019, including Newcastle United v Manchester United at St James’ Park and Wolverhampton Wanderers v Crystal Palace at Molineux. The reverse fixture between the Magpies and Red Devils in October was one of the games of the season so far, with Newcastle taking an early 2-0 lead, which they held onto until the 70th minute, when Juan Mata began a remarkable fightback for Jose Mourinho’s side. Further goals from Anthony Martial and Alexis Sanchez clinched a dramatic 3-2 win, which some claim saved Mourinho’s job. Plus, action from Arsenal v Fulham at the Emirates Stadium, Bournemouth v Watford at the Vitality Stadium, Cardiff City v Tottenham Hotspur at the Cardiff City Stadium, Chelsea v Southampton at Stamford Bridge, Everton v Leicester City at Goodison Park, Huddersfield Town v Burnley at the John Smith’s Stadium and West Ham United v Brighton & Hove Albion at London Stadium
