Gayle has to hit the target there - what an opportunity for Newcastle!
Newcastle 0-1 Man City
That. Was. The. Chance.
Newcastle have been patient in this match, sitting back and waiting for their opening. They get it late on but fail to make it count.
Christian Atsu finds the ball down the left, beats Raheem Sterling twice and puts a cross to the penalty area.
In comes fellow substitute Dwight Gayle with a free, diving header, but it drifts a yard wide of Ederson's left-hand post.

Newcastle are at least finally trying to commit men forward and play the ball forward.
Newcastle 0-1 Man City
Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez has just signalled his men to go for it.
Three minutes left for the Magpies to find a leveller, a barely deserved leveller.
Newcastle 0-1 Man City
Is this the second?
Quick interchange play between Ilkay Gundogan and Gabriel Jesus, but the German's shot is high, wide and into the stand.
Newcastle 0-1 Man City
Manchester City continue to control the ball, Newcastle not pushing too far away from their defensive positions to get it back.

Miles Norgan: Go 1-0 up, dominate the whole game, miss a hat-full of easy chances. This has 93rd minute equaliser written all over it. Then a City winner in the 98th minute of Pep time...
Newcastle 0-1 Man City
Final change of the game.
Bernardo Silva, who has barely been in the match, makes way for Leroy Sane.
Just what Newcastle need.
Eight to go.

Dwight Gayle has an effort from outside the box but it is blocked by the masked Manchester City defender Eliaquim Mangala.

Manchester City clearly deserve to win this game, but there is no doubt that if Newcastle were to find an equaliser the roof would come off here at St James' Park.
Newcastle 0-1 Man City
Into the last 10 minutes.
Newcastle are getting a little more adventurous now.

That is what Rafa Benitez has brought Christian Atsu on for. He isolated his man one on one down the left and the pull-back was not far away from Jonjo Shelvey.

David Furness: I can see Newcastle scoring a late goal in this game. Good tactics. Preserving their energy, and surprise goal! (I've got great odds on this from the bookmakers).

I'm still so angry with Dwight Gayle - I really am.
Why did he dive? Why didn't he take the chance to shoot?
Newcastle 0-1 Man City
Newcastle on the attack for the first time in the match.
Sub Christian Atsu breaks in from the left and plays the ball across the box, but Raheem Sterling doing his defensive duties by clearing the ball away.
Newcastle 0-1 Man City
Raheem Sterling in the thick of the action again, jinking past three Newcastle defenders and passing off to Gabriel Jesus.
The Brazilian attempts a backheeled effort, but he is offside.

Rezaa Sait: For people criticising Newcastle, it's better to defend and lose 1-0 than attack and lose 5-0. Goal difference could play a big part in who goes down and who stays up.
Newcastle 0-1 Man City
Second change for Manchester City and he is shoring things up.
Off comes striker Sergio Aguero and defender Eliaquim Mangala enters the action.
A final change for Newcastle too. Mikel Merino replaces Chancel Mbemba.
13 minutes remaining.

Tommy-T-rex: Deli Alli penalty. Dwight Gayle dive.

My first reaction was that it was a dive. The referee gets that absolutely spot on.
Why would he go down there? There is no need. You have the chance to go on and pull the trigger. It is just cheating.
