"Harvey Barnes fired Newcastle to a welcome 2-1 Premier League victory over Manchester City with a quickfire double in a thrilling encounter at St James' Park. The former Leicester winger struck after 63 and 70 minutes either side of Ruben Dias' equaliser to secure a first league success against City for head coach Eddie Howe at the 19th attempt. It could hardly have been better timed with Howe's men sitting in 15th place,"
"The hosts almost got off to the perfect start when Joelinton pounced on Gianluigi Donnarumma's ill-judged pass to Phil Foden, only for Barnes to shoot straight at the keeper. Erling Haaland was equally and uncharacteristically wasteful at the other end, scooping a left-foot effort harmlessly wide after being played through by Jérémy Doku. Nick Pope did well to get behind Rayan Cherki's angled seventh-minute drive as City set up camp in the Newcastle half"
Harvey Barnes scored twice after the hour mark to give Newcastle a 2-1 victory over Manchester City, with Ruben Dias briefly levelling between the strikes. Newcastle had been 15th and one point above the relegation zone before the game, facing a Champions League trip to Marseille next. Joelinton capitalised on an errant Donnarumma pass while Barnes initially shot at the keeper. Erling Haaland missed notable chances and both Nick Pope and Gianluigi Donnarumma produced important saves. Jacob Murphy and Nick Woltemade created threats from crosses, and Tino Livramento made a key defensive block.
