A shower of sumptuous goals lit up St James Park on Saturday. Newcastle hosted Manchester City in a Premier League shock. The Citizens, third, are racing against Liverpool and Aston Villa to snatch first place. They were pushed around in the first period.
However, the Mancunians opened the scoring in the 26th minute thanks to a masterpiece from Bernardo Silva. Launched on the right side, Kyle Walker crossed towards the Portuguese, in the heart of the area. The former AS Monaco midfielder then made an exceptional “Madjer”, which ended up in the opposing net (1-0).
This is Bernardo Silva’s seventh goal this season in the league. Pep Guardiola’s player is still valuable for his team and is having a high-level season. Coveted by Barcelona and PSG, the Portuguese chose to stay at Manchester City this summer.
Despite this goal conceded, Newcastle did not let themselves be defeated. Eddie Howe’s team responded nine minutes later. At the edge of the area, Swedish striker Alexander Isak placed himself on his right foot before unleashing a curling shot. The ball lodged flush with the Citizen post (1-1, 35th).
Two minutes later, the Mancunian nets shook again. This time, it was winger Anthony Gordon who delighted his audience. On the left of the opponent’s area, he eliminated Kyle Walker with a hook then in turn rolled into the opposite net (2-1, 36th).
Entering in the 68th minute, in place of Bernardo Silva, Kévin De Bruyne was quick to shine. At 18 m, the midfielder fired a perfect ground shot and equalized (2-2, 73rd). The Belgian, back in form, then delivered an assist in stoppage time for Oscar Bobb’s winning goal, another joker (2-3, 90th + 1). This poster between the two English clubs kept all its promises, with an intense, spectacular meeting punctuated by high quality goals.
