We have had our opportunity and it's advantage to Man City

United slipped three points behind league leader Manchester City after sublime strikes by Demba Ba and Yohan Cabaye either side of halftime moncler jackets were added to by a calamitous own goal by Phil Jones in the 90th minute.

Coming four days after a shock 3-2 upset at the hands of Blackburn, United's latest defeat also left the reigning champions just three points above third-place Tottenham in what is shaping up to be a three-horse race for the title.

"We have had our opportunity and it's advantage to Man City," said Ferguson, whose team's next game is against its cross-town rival in the third round of the FA Cup on Sunday. Newcastle's strike pairing of Ba, who grabbed his 15th goal of the campaign, and Shola Ameobi bullied United's defense all night while the returning Wayne Rooney had a frustrating game before being substituted in the 74th.

"We won because we controlled the game in terms of what we wanted to do," Newcastle manager Alan Pardew said. "We would not let them play. Physically moncler women jackets and aerially we had an advantage and capitalised on that."

Ba's goal came in the 33rd and at a time when United was looking threatening, with Dimitar Berbatov having already headed against the post with Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul beaten. Ameobi flicked on a long clearance by Krul and Ba got to the ball ahead of Rio Ferdinand to hook a ball into the far corner.

Cabaye's free kick made it 2-0, the France midfielder stepping up from 30 yards (meters) to curl a stunning effort into the top corner with United goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard getting a fingertip to the shot but was unable to prevent it going in.

Rooney had a volley cleared off the line by Newcastle defender Danny Simpson, a former United player, but United's night was summed up seconds before stoppage time when Jones stooped to deflect a clearance by Krul into his own net, with Lindegaard completely fooled by his own defender.

"We saw what Blackburn did against Manchester United a few days ago, so one of our main tactics was to get in behind them and squeeze them up the pitch and it worked," Ameobi said.

Messi, who was a last-minute inclusion moncler in the squad, went on after halftime. Showing no signs of illness, Messi headed in Fabregas' cross in the 72nd and capped the win in stoppage time. "They first said Messi had a fever and was going home, (then) he comes out and scores two goals. What can we do?" said Osasuna coach Jose Mendilibar, whose team entered the night undefeated in its last seven matches. "It would be a miracle to make it to the next round now. We are going to forget about the Copa and focus on the league."

Even though earlier in the day Barcelona had said Messi would miss the match because of the flu, he was included after "responding well to treatment," according to the club. Barcelona's latest win added to its more than impressive numbers on the season.

Guardiola's team has outscored opponents 37-1 in eight straight victories since losing 1-0 at Getafe and hasn't conceded a goal in 12 straight home games while scoring 53 times. "A 4-0 win is an excellent result," Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola said. "But the knockout series is not over. We have to go to Pamplona and play for 90 more minutes."

Pedro Rodriguez and young winger Isaac Cuenca accompanied Fabregas in attack, and Guardiola opted to deploy a three-man defensive line that cheap moncler freed Dani Alves to play on the right flank. The speedy Brazil defender had the hosts' first shot six minutes in and provided a constant threat throughout.
