Manchester City were dealt another early blow to their Premier League title hopes as Newcastle secured an impressive home point at St James’ Park.

In the absence of influential midfielder Rodri, out for the season after suffering a serious knee injury against Arsenal, Pep Guardiola’s side lacked their usual calm, composure and creativity. Having taken the lead through Josko Gvardiol ten minutes before half time, the visitors struggled to create consistent chances.

Anthony Gordon equalised from the penalty spot after the forward, playing centrally with Alexander Isak injured, was felled by Ederson having burst beyond the Manchester City defence. Neither side could force a winner late on, with Nick Pope making a fine save from Bernardo Silva to secure a draw. A point apiece suits the hosts rather better than the champions, with Liverpool able to usurp Manchester City at the top of the table with victory at Wolves later.

FULL-TIME!

The referee brings the match to an end in what was a fairly mute ending in comparison to the game itself. No chances of note in added time, and the points are shared after a thoroughly entertaining match on Tyneside.

The corner is cleared but it breaks back to Foden. He floats in a cross but there’s too much on it, and it’s collected by Pope.

It’s all City as the final whistle approaches. Savinho takes on Hall and wins a corner.

Great work from Savinho as he gets his out of his feet and clips in a cross, but Haaland can’t generate enough power on the header.

Newcastle are preparing some late subs as they look to steal the three points.

City come forward once more, but there are no gaps in the home defence.

There’ll be seven minutes of added time.

City spread it wide to Doku, but his cross is too weak. They come again, with Savinho finding Foden. The winger lays it off to Silva, who hits a great volley on the turn, but it was too close to Pope and he saves well.

Murphy skins Akanji in his own half and bursts forward, but he wastes the chance in the end with a poor pass near the City box. Moments later, Foden is guilty of the same as he fails to find Haaland, and Joelinton clears.

Dias fouls Gordon to stop the break, and he gets a yellow card.

Joelinton is briefly down, but he looks okay to carry on.

The two sides have been sloppy in attack over the last few minutes, with both wasting promising openings.

Foden’s set-piece is too deep and Silva can only clip a cross back into the box, which falls to Kovacic, but he fires it wide.

Newcastle continue to press and they come close to catching Ederson out as Gordon chases him down. Moments later, a silly flick from Schar leads to the home side conceding a free-kick on the left wing.
