  1. Man City 1-0 Newcastle

    Free-kick to Newcastle. Enough time for them to pump the ball up the pitch, but they play it short.

  2. Man City 1-0 Newcastle

    Erling Haaland has the ball in the corner. And wins a corner. Phil Foden tells his team-mates to stay switched on.

  3. Man City 1-0 Newcastle

    Halfway through injury time now. City still on the ball. Bruno Guimaraes fouls Mateo Kovacic and City in no rush to take.

    As a lifelong Man City supporter, I honestly think this is one of the best performances I’ve seen. Crisp passing, fast-paced movement going forward, swarming over any counter-attack, and with a relatively weak bench. Worrying for everyone else with players to come back in and maybe a couple of exciting signings to come. Feels like a dynasty...

  5. Man City 1-0 Newcastle

    City have the ball where they want it. At their feet in Newcastle's half.

  6. INJURY TIME

    Man City 1-0 Newcastle

    Only, by new standards, five minutes added on.

  7. Man City 1-0 Newcastle

    Jack Grealish takes his time over a corner. Eventually it's taken and comes to nothing.

  8. Man City 1-0 Newcastle

    Phil Foden goes even closer. He runs onto Erling Haaland's through ball and is denied by the feet of Nick Pope.

  9. Man City 1-0 Newcastle

    Julian Alvarez picks out Phil Foden in space. The City player's performance tonight deserves a goal but his shot is blocked.

    Re: Russell (21:45) - Newcastle are only playing their second game of the season, City are playing their fourth and only got back to Manchester early hours on Thursday!

    Re: Russell (21:45), by the same metric, Brentford should have won the league last season.

    Ally McCoist
    Former Rangers striker & manager on TNT Sports

    Almiron has worked so hard tonight but fatigue was setting in.

  12. Man City 1-0 Newcastle

    City have taken the sting out of this game. Proper slow tempo.

  13. Man City 1-0 Newcastle

    This is Valentino Livramento's third game since April 2022. He only returned at the end of last season from a nasty injury.

  14. SUBSTITUTION

    Man City 1-0 Newcastle

    Newcastle hand a debut to Tino Livramento. The recent signing from Southampton replaces Miguel Almiron.

  15. Man City 1-0 Newcastle

    Newcastle had a good spell but City weathered the, well it wasn't a storm, a mild gale?

    Russell Moore: Many people are forgetting that last season's almost title-winners Arsenal went to the Etihad and got humbled 4-1. Newcastle are still in this, and are title contenders by this measure.

  17. Man City 1-0 Newcastle

    A City fan tells Pep Guardiola to "sort it out" and Guardiola invites him to sit in the dugout instead of him. It was a bit more friendly than it sounds written out but still, yikes.

    Foden, academy player vs £100m Grealish. One drifts past players and sets goals up, the other barges into players and rolls around on the floor.

    There's no doubt Man City are the best team in the world right now and built for success in every area BUT does every tackle need four rolls and this ridiculous play acting?

  19. Man City 1-0 Newcastle

    No City subs yet. Nobody even warming up. You wouldn't know they'd played a game in 30C heat in Greece the other night.

  20. Man City 1-0 Newcastle

    Erling Haaland concedes a free-kick now as he chases another long ball.
