From the start of the match, Man City dominated possession but it was Newcastle who created the first dangerous opportunity. Jacob Murphy sent a cross for Nick Woltemade to head in, but the ball went straight to goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, causing the opportunity to open the scoring to be lost.

The first half was tight but goalless. The turning point came in the 61st minute when Newcastle opened the scoring. From a quick counter-attack, Bruno Guimarães cleverly passed the ball to Harvey Barnes, who fired a low shot into the far corner, beating Donnarumma and putting Newcastle ahead.

But the home team's joy only lasted 5 minutes. Center back Ruben Dias quickly finished in the penalty area after a messy situation, equalizing 1-1 for Man City.

The drama continued to escalate after this goal. In the 70th minute, Barnes appeared at the right time to score the second goal of the match against Man City, after Guimaraes' shot hit the crossbar. The goal was recognized after a long VAR review, causing the St James' Park crowd to explode with emotion.

In the final minutes, Man City put all their pressure on Newcastle's resilient defense but could not penetrate. The 2-1 victory helped the "Magpies" rise to 14th place and brought coach Eddie Howe his first victory against Man City in the Premier League.

Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola's team was overtaken by Chelsea in third place. The team has shown disappointing away form, winning only 2/6 away matches since the start of the season.
