A nice spell of Newcastle passing and Rodri ends it by shoving a Toon player over for a free-kick and a little break.

Control and no look pass from Foden for the assist.... top class that.

Theo: Foden playing in the pocket and causing havoc… will Pep now realise that is his most effective position?

Well played by Phil Foden. He carries the ball 50 yards up the pitch and is then shoved over by Sandro Tonali, who gets a yellow card.

Former Rangers striker & manager on TNT SportsThe finish is sublime. However, the touch from Foden is majestic.
It really is. Excellent goal. Unstoppable.

BBC Sport at Etihad StadiumSo much for the So Solid Crew... sorry about that, Newcastle fans.
Phil Foden found Julian Alvarez in a rare bit of space left on the edge of the Newcastle area, which Eddie Howe won't be happy about... but what a way to make the most of it.
The City fans around me stopped celebrating to watch the replays properly on the big screens, and admire what was a peach of a finish.

Phil Foden pulls the ball back to Julian Alvarez, who taks a touch to steady himself and then curls into the top corner from 16 yards.
Nick Pope gets a glove to it, maybe he could have done better.

Kyle Walker does well to keep Rodri's ball in but his hooked cross is over the bar.

Hmm. A replay shows Anthony Gordon rakes his studs down the leg of Ruben Dias. It's a yellow, which was best case scenario really for the Newcastle man there.
