Manchester City came from behind to win 3–2 away at Newcastle.
Only 20-year-old Oscar Bobb completed Manchester City’s winning goal in extra time given by the referee. PDO
Manchester City fans received job mail even before the start of Saturday’s Newcastle match.
Superstar Erling Haaland’s I hope the rehabilitation has not gone well. The Norwegian’s sick leave will continue at least until the end of January.
There were more worries at St James’ Park when the number one hitter Ederson was injured right at the start of the match.
Even that didn’t slow down the City combination that produced goals from the assembly line. The goal of the away team just wasn’t right, and only now Bernardo Silva a sneaky backhand strike in the 26th minute opened the scoring.
At that point, the Masters should have been in the lead by at least four goals.
However, the concentration only lasted for 138 seconds. That was enough Alexander to Isak and To Anthony Gordon to turn the scoreboard upside down.
Newcastle’s two handsome goals certainly did not go to waste Stefan Ortega but it was clear that City let Newcastle into the match for free.
De Bruyne decided
In practice, the second period was played with only one goal.
Manager Pep Guardiola was nervous to waste at the latest in the 69th minute, when he sent on the sidelined for a long time Kevin De Bruyne to the field.
The Belgian is arguably the best player in the Premier League, but his superiority on the mend is still astonishing.
The story continues after the picture
Kevin de Bruyne wildly fanned his equalizer. PDO
Five minutes later, De Bruyne leveled the game with a fine flick. He always waited for extra time given by the referee before sending the young Norwegian Oscar Bobbin to score the winning goal.
Bobb was first humiliated by the national team pack Kieran Trippierwas then toured by the Newcastle weaver Martin Dúbravkan and scored the opening goal of his Premier League career.
With their win, City moved to within two points of league leader Liverpool. All opponents must have watched De Bruyne’s moves with fear.
And Haaland’s return is not many weeks away either.
