Almiron equalised for Newcastle in the 29th minute, before Callum Wilson scored the third goal of the game to put the Toon ahead.

In the second half, Newcastle started well. They scored again through captain Kieran Trippier. Trippier hit an amazing free kick into the top corner, catching Ederson out.

With St James Park rocking, Newcastle look set to claim a massive three points against champions City.

With all City’s class, there was bound to be a reaction to the three goals.

Erling Haaland provided the second goal for City in the 60th minute. Just four minutes later, City were level through Bernado Silva.

There was late drama as Trippier was sent off for a foul on Kevin De Bruyne during a breakaway. After being told to check the VAR screens, the referee overturned his decision and just awarded the defender a yellow card.

You just can't write Manchester City off, Newcastle were leading 3-1 and felt comfortable.

Man City had to show them what they are capable of and why they are the current Champions. pic.twitter.com/0GbLI9SIOI
