    There's no great movement so far from the home players.

    Man City 1-1 Newcastle

    The Newcastle fans are singing the name of Rafa Benitez in their corner of the ground. They'll be thrilled with the application here and their recovery from that early goal.

    Riyad Mahrez is trying his best but it's not happening as he overhits a cross - goal kick.

    Back come City, Aguero wants to dig from the edge of the area... blocked.

    City are definitely missing Kevin De Bruyne and his guile.

    Ayoze Perez having a go at John Stones down the left. He's trying to fashion crossing space and that will be a corner will it? No. Referee isn't having that Stones got the last touch but I'm certain he did. Perez throws himself to the floor in anger, like a kid told he's not staying up to watch Heartbeat on a Sunday.

    Robert Enright: Same tactics almost got us a point last week. For all the anger from the pundits, Benitez is working wonders with how little he has, especially when you compare the budgets of both teams.

    Louis Porter: What happened to thinking nothing was over until the very end because this is the Premier League and anything can happen. Man City are not going to win 5-0 every week, one goal in the opening minutes does not mean its over, plenty of football to go. Not untouchable.

    Sean: 1-1!!!!! YEDLIN!!! Makes up for his own goal last week!!!

    Man City 1-1 Newcastle

    Newcastle remain solid as Fernandinho tries to turn a corner-kick delivery at goal. Tame and wide.

    Newcastle suddenly snappy in the tackle, buoyed by that equaliser no doubt. Pep Guardiola sits with a concerned look on his face.

    Excluding own goals, DeAndre Yedlin is the first USA player to score in the Premier League since Geoff Cameron for Stoke vs Aston Villa in March 2014.

    It was his first goal in 61 Premier League outings.

    Got to say absolute quality from Rondon to pick out Yedlin.

    You have got to ask question about who should be marking Yedlin. I’m not sure where Benjamin Mendy was but he was doing very little. Gabriel Jesus of all people tracked back.

    Whatever happened it was very poor defending. City have taken foot off the gas and now it is game on.

    When that ball went in, I can tell you Martin Dubravka in goal at the other end went absolutely nuts.

    GOAL - Man City 1-1 Newcastlepublished at 30 mins

    DeAndre Yedlin

    What is happening?

    DeAndre Yedlin has rumbled the champions and it's a well-worked goal. Artistic, measured stuff. Kenedy pulls the ball down in the final third with a fine touch and slides it to Salomon Rondon on the left of the area. He picks his head up and rolls a ball across the penalty area between players and absolutely begging to be met by anyone who wants to get themselves in there. Yedlin does, he's arriving like a bullet train and he crashes it home from eight yards.

    Man City 1-0 Newcastle

    The Toon win a free-kick in the Manchester City half. A chance to load the box and go a bit Wimbledon or a bit Bolton from back in the day. In a nutshell, load the box lads. They work it short and Kenedy puts it in the mixer... claimed by Ederson.

    Mohamed Diame with a hack on David Silva on the left-hand side of the area. Silva did him all ends up with a little shake of the hips and the challenge was just poorly timed. A dangerous, dangerous area here... Silva will take it and he picks out Gabriel Jesus... header down but he doesn't get hold of it.

    Man City v Newcastle

    Eniola: I am pretty sure Man City are going to run riot against Newcastle,even if they choose to sit deep, they will still get trashed

    Kris Jefferson: Just to compare the teams, Newcastle’s entire line up cost roughly £30mil, every Man City player in their line up, apart from David Silva and Gabriel Jesus, cost more than that individually....

    Conceding early could be a blessing in disguise for NUFC. At least we might go and attack a bit now.

    Ayoze Perez pulls a ball down neatly and gives Newcastle a foothold in the home half for once. They keep the ball before Ki Sung-yueng looks to loft a cross in. It's an in-swinger but it's an easy take for Ederson.

    Fernandinho tries a diagonal ball from the middle of the pitch to pick out a run from Riyad Mahrez. Good spot by Martin Dubravka, who comes out to pluck it from the air.

    Manchester City have had 74% of the ball so far. Aymeric Laporte is seeing more of it than any player with 38 touches. Hats off to Newcastle though, that one error apart they've done OK at the back and have recovered quite well since the goal.

    It was great skill from Gabriel Jesus but it would have to be some strike to score from that angle. However it shows that as soon as City get a chance to play forward they do.

    Brilliant play by Jesus.

    We reach the 20th minute and Manchester City are in total control.

    Man City 1-0 Newcastle

    Sergio Aguero drops to the halfway line and turns to feed Gabriel Jesus. He's giving chase with a defender but a clever Cruyff-like flick takes him back inside. A dummy makes a bit more room in the area and two defenders slide at his feet as he gets a shot off. Well read and well held by Martin Dubravka.

    Expect Pep Guardiola to be chest-bumping people, kissing players on the cheek and generally being a bit giddy in the coming weeks.

    Why?

    He just loves September. Not because it's the time where the kids who run wild around the streets around his mansion are going back to school but because he just doesn't know how to lose at this time of year.

    He's unbeaten in 41 competitive matches as a manager in September since Barcelona were beaten by Hercules in September 2010.
