Alex Ferguson 's men responded to their shock 3-2 home defeat last weekend to Tottenham Hotspur with a fine performance against north-east hopefuls Newcastle .

Wayne Rooney , who set up the two opening goals from corners and was named man of the match , said United were delighted with their display . `` It was a great result , everyone knows this is one of the hardest games of the season and we came away and defended brilliantly , '' he told Sky Sports . Tottenham , improving fast under new manager Andre Villas-Boas , built on their success at Old Trafford with a 2-0 home win over struggling Aston Villa . Villas-Boas ended American goalkeeper Brad Freidel 's run of 310 straight league games by selecting French international signing Hugo Lloris . A mistake by Lloris nearly let in Villa for the opener in the second half but shortly afterwards Steven Caulker deflected home a Jermain Defoe shot . Aaron Lennon sealed a win which lifts Tottenham to fifth , five points adrift of Chelsea , with a surging run and shot on 67 minutes . Elsewhere , Liverpool 's disappointing start to the season continued as they were held goalless at Anfield by Stoke , while Southampton and Fulham drew 2-2 . In Serie A , Juventus extended their unbeaten run to 47 games with a 2-1 away win at Siena . The Turin side were boosted by the news Friday that their coach Antonio Conte could return to their bench in December and the victory kept them ahead of Napoli , later 2-1 winners at home to Udinese , on goal difference . Andre Pirlo put them ahead after 14 minutes but Emanuele Calaio equalized after the break for the home side . Midfielder Claudio Marchisio volleyed a superb winner in the 85th minute for Juve . A third minute goal for Inter 's Walter Samuel settled the Milan derby in the San Siro as they beat Milan 1-0 . Lazio also stayed in early title contention as Miroslav Klose scord twice in a 3-0 win over Pescara . Reigning Bundesliga champions Borussia Dortmund lost more ground on runaway leaders Bayern Munich when they were held 1-1 at Hanover after Robert Lewandowski had given them a 26th minute lead .
