It ended Newcastle 0 Manchester City 2.
The scoreline doesn’t reflect the 90 minutes whatsoever.
As the joke goes, Newcastle United were lucky to get nil!
Not a single Newcastle corner and the only chance the Magpies had was created by Man City.
Under no pressure at all, Otamendi played the ball across the edge of his own box and gave away possession.
Allan Saint-Maximin squaring it across the box and Dwight Gayle somehow clearing the bar from eight yards out, instead of equalising.
However, as you can see from the highlights, Man City should have scored a lot more than two goals.
