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 vs Manchester City

Amid Newcastle’s injury crisis, Manchester City will be boosted by the return of Kevin de Bruyne to the bench for the first time in the Premier League following his long-term injury.

There is no Erling Haaland, but City have still put out a strong side.
