 Newcastle's best chance of the half fell to Hamann, a powerfully hit long-range shot just being diverted away from goal by Schmeichel.By half-time, Hamann's injury had left him barely able to walk and he told Gullit he could not continue in the match; the two got into an argument in which Gullit accused Hamann of lacking commitment before deciding to bring on Duncan Ferguson in Hamann's place.Eight minutes into the half, Manchester United scored a second goal.
