"Newcastle were the team that made the brighter start to the game and dominated the Blues in the early stages. They almost scored in the opening ten minutes when a free kick was only half cleared by Trafford but the resulting attempt was cleared off the line by Gonzalez much to the goalkeepers relief. Tonali passed it to Barnes on the left side and was played onside by Khusanov and with a strike from his right foot, the Englishman put Newcastle in the lead with a thoroughly deserved goal for the home side."
"City needed to wake up and they managed to do just that. After the Newcastle goal, the entire momentum of the game shifted in favour of the Blues and it was now the away side that was having all the chances. In the 38th minute, a ball in from Doku went past the face of goal and deflected off Savinho goalwards. Despite his best efforts, Ramsdale was unable to keep the ball from going over the line and City had their equaliser through Savinho."

This victory came after City's recent 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest in the league, marking their fifth meeting with Newcastle this season across multiple competitions.
