City defender Josko Gvardiol, who I haven't mentioned loads because he hasn't been hugely threatened today, runs the ball out of defence.

Well done Fabian Schar. Phil Foden slips Erling Haaland in and just as he's about to hammer home, Schar slides in and stops him.

Considering Anthony Gordon might have come off because he was close to a second yellow card, I'm sure Eddie Howe won't be delighted his replacement is now in the same boat moments later.

I think Newcastle are doing ok. Progress compared to how this game normally goes. Man City are the gold standard, Newcastle went beyond what's expected last year. A good first half to watch.

Toon Army has to have faith! Grit and moxie for 15 minutes and then nick one and we are right back in this. In Howe and Joelinton we trust!

21:06 Ryan: It's because Southgate doesn't play Foden where he should do, he forces him to play on the sideline and not more centrally.

Man City 1-0 Newcastle
A very positive start for Newcastle. A cross causes some problems and then Anthony Gordon slices a shot over the bar. But this is more than they were doing before the break.

Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon cuts in from the left and hammers in a shot which is blocked and goes out for a throw-in. Sadly it was blocked by his own team-mate Joelinton so it's a City throw.

20:50 - Gooner Thoughts: Foden is like Iniesta at City, but League One for England. He was invisible at the World Cup.
