Newcastle secured a point against Manchester City at St James' Park, with Anthony Gordon scoring a penalty to equalize after Josko Gvardiol's opener. The Magpies dominated large parts of the game and could have won it late on, while City struggled without Kevin de Bruyne and Rodri.
ANTHONY GORDON celebrated committing his long-term future to Newcastle by scoring his team's deserved equaliser.Pep Guardiola's side had lost the last four Premier League games they had played without the Spain midfielder and captain Kevin de Bruyne, so in some ways this was an improvement.
Rivals Liverpool and Arsenal will be thinking it is now or never to end City's run of four consecutive titles. The City boss in fact made three changes, dropping Savinho and Jeremy Doku to the bench as well as bringing in Rico Lewis to play a midfield role alongside Ilkay Gundogan and Mateo Kovacic.Newcastle, too, were missing a key player. Alexander Isak has broken a toe, and with Callum Wilson also injured, Howe asked Anthony Gordon to reprise the role as a central forward that he had played for England’s European Championship-winning Under-21 side in 2023.
They were clearly targeting City’s left but the closest they came from open play was a Kieran Trippier shot that poleaxed Jack Grealish. Grealish was slightly fortunate to beat Trippier after a heavy touch but his pass to Gvardiol was sharp. The left back turned inside Dan Burn and fired a precise right-footed shot across Nick Pope and into the net.Gundogan picked off Pope’s pass to Burn but totally misjudged his attempted lob over the retreating goalkeeper.
The second half started as a more open game. Schar headed off target from a Guimaraes cross and referee Jarred Gillett decided Kyle Walker’s untidy challenge on Harvey Barnes did not merit a penalty.
