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.

Newcastle 0-1 Man City

29’ SAVE! Dubravka makes a good diving save to prevent City adding a quickfire second.

Alvarez struck that well, and Dubravka has got two hands on it to push it onto the crossbar.

GOAL! Bernardo Silva strikes! - Newcastle 0-1 Man City

27’ Walker played in a perfectly weighted pass, but the way Silva allowed the ball to run across him before sticking his leg out at the last minute to backheel it into the back of the net past Dubravka.

That was an astonishing finish.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester City

25’ Man City’s possession stats might be up over 70 percent, but Dubravka has not had a lot to do in the back of the net.

That was a big collision between Gordon and Dias! But the referee has waived play on.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester City

22’ Newcastle are struggling to keep hold of the ball here, but they have been dangerous on the counter attack, especially in the first few minutes of the game.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester City

19’ City have another corner...it’s taken short to Kovacic, and Walker takes on a chance from distance but it was dragged well wide of the target.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester City

18’ In the opening period, Man City have had almost 65 percent of the ball, but Newcastle have been resolute in defence so far.

But every time Foden and Silva get on the ball, they look dangerous.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester City

16’ Chance! Almiron pulls the ball back in the direction of Isak, but he was just a yard short and it was another opportunity for the home side in the early period of this game.

But there is almost immediately one at the other end, which Bernardo Silva puts over the bar.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester City

13’ Bruno makes a key intervention on a Foden pass but concedes a corner, although City are unable to capitalise from the set-piece.
