Manchester City lost 1-2 to Newcastle and fell again in the rankings

In the highlight of this round of the Premier League, Newcastle defeated visiting Manchester City 2-1. Although City dominated possession from the start, Newcastle failed to score but showed the home side's determination as they failed to score thanks to a well-placed Jacob Murphy cross and a header from Nick Waltermed.

In the first half, both sides exchanged offense and defense, but neither changed the score. The turning point came in the 61st minute. Newcastle launched a quick counterattack through Bruno Guimaraes' clever direct pass. Harvey Barnes calmly shot through the net and opened the scoring for Newcastle. However, City quickly equalized through Ruben Dias.

As the game progressed, the tension reached its peak. In the 70th minute, Harvey Barnes once again seized the opportunity to score a supplementary shot. VAR confirmed that the goal was valid, bringing the atmosphere at St. James Park to a boiling point. In the end, Newcastle relied on its solid defense to preserve the 2-1 victory, which not only climbed to 14th in the standings, but also earned coach Eddie Howe an important victory against Manchester City.

At the same time, Manchester City was surpassed by Chelsea due to this defeat and fell to third place in the standings. Manchester City's away performance this season is poor, with only two wins in six games, and they urgently need to adjust their form.
