Newcastle United was held to a point at St. James’ Park

thanks to Manchester City.

Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva’s combination resulted in an early goal for Manchester City in the match on Sunday afternoon. The German received a beautiful pass from the latter,

who then confidently finished it. City’s new captain.

With chances for both sides,

the game quickly became a shootout. Prior to Ederson saving from Allan Saint-Maximin, Kevin De Bruyne stingingly smacked Pope’s gloves with a free kick.

Miguel Almiron of Newcastle scored a close-range goal to tie the score after a VAR review determined the Paraguayan to be in the box.

A few minutes later,

De Bruyne made an incredible assist by nudging Joe Willock in order to assist Silva and square the score at St. James’.

The drama increased when Trippier,

the captain of Newcastle and the third goal scorer,

was initially dismissed for a callous challenge on De Bruyne that was high on the Belgian’s knee. After a VAR review, this was changed to a yellow card.

Despite intense pressure, City were unable to come up with a late winner,

causing them to drop points for the first time this year.

Pep Guardiola’s team will be relieved that not all three points were lost on Tyneside,

given the score early in the second half.

The outcome moves the Premier League champions into second place in the standings,

trailing only league-leading Arsenal, the only team to have won every game thus far. This Wednesday night at the Nou Camp, City will play host to Barcelona in a friendly matchup.

Here is how we ranked each player from Sunday’s match between Manchester City and Newcastle United!

Although he let Almiron’s goal go in,

he had little control over the second goal given how close it was. He did poorly on the second goal by reacting to the shot very slowly. The English international Trippier nailed his free-kick goal beautifully, and the Brazilian was unable to stop him from scoring Newcastle’s third goal.

Newcastle

looked significantly behind today. On the verge of halftime,

a sloppy pass back to Ederson took advantage of this and caused the ball to go out for a corner. Walker persisted in making errors and hasty challenges up until City started to retake the lead.

Starting his first game of the year and his lack of playing time greatly hurt City. He retreated but failed to make a challenge on the Newcastle onslaught,

which made him vulnerable to Wilson’s goal.

He maliciously attacked Saint-Maximin in the second half,

adding to his woes with a careless yellow card. Trippier’s goal off a free kick as a result badly injured City.

Premier League: Newcastle holds Manchester City in a thrilling match as the title chase resumes

There was a brief period when it appeared as though there would be no title fight and that Manchester City would simply march to a third straight Premier League victory.

However, following yesterday’s wonderfully exciting 3-3 draw against Newcastle United on Tyneside, City don’t appear to be lock-in favourites after all.

The visitors slid into cruise control far too early after grabbing the lead via Ilkay Gundogan in the fifth minute, and the home team enjoyed taking the battle to them.

Prior to Callum Wilson’s goal for Newcastle to go in ahead at halftime and Kieran Trippier’s thunderous free kick to give them a two-goal lead,

Miguel Almiron bundled in an equaliser.

Erling Haaland and Bernardo Silva scored twice in five minutes for City to respond as required, but they were unable to score a winner or even mount a continuous attack in the closing minutes.

The decision by Pep Guardiola to merely substitute Nathan Ake for Riyad Mahrez and Julian Alvarez was therefore puzzling.

Was he stressing the importance of squad depth to the club’s management? Or did he just have faith in his team to get themselves out of a jam?

At St James’ Park, the football match was exhilarating. After losing 1-2 at the half, Manchester City was down 1-3 in the 54th minute. But the winners make an incredible comeback as they level… VIEW MORE
