Kevin de Bruyne came back from injury to inspire Manchester City to victory as they came from behind to secure a 3-2 win over Newcastle United at St James’ Park.

Eddie Howe’s side have lost their last three league matches and fallen away from the top-four race, but they were unable to hold on to a 2-1 lead once De Bruyne stepped onto the field.

Bernardo Silva’s opener was quickly cancelled out by two goals in two-and-a-half minutes from Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon.

But once De Bruyne was brought on for Silva in the second half, City grasped control of the match and were able to fight their way back into the game.

De Bruyne scored the equaliser himself, before Oscar Bobb stepped up in stoppage time to secure all three points for the visitors.

85’ Bruno has called to the crowd for support, and Dubravka has to tip the ball back over his own bar. It will be another City corner and with De Bruyne to take they are looking more dangerous, but it’s cleared back to Ortega.

Newcastle 2-2 Man City

83’ Newcastle have very limited options off the bench, and most of the senior players available are defensive options, while City have a wealth of talent to bring on in all areas of the field and their substitutes have already made a difference.

Dubravka makes another save, to deny Rodri, the goalkeeper was quick to get down and turn the ball behind.

82’ Newcastle are struggling to keep the ball here and it’s just wave after wave of attack from those in blue, Schar scrambles the ball clear and boots it into touch.

City make another change, Doku off for Bobb.
