Handsome comeback Manchester City not enough for victory | Football

At an atmospheric St James’ Park, trainer Pep Guardiola’s team came back from a 3-1 deficit. Defender Nathan Aké, who started in the base, did not experience that anymore. He was injured after 21 minutes.

Ilkay Gundogan put City ahead in the 5th minute. On a pass from Bernardo Silva, the German hit from close range. After previously missing a good chance, attacker Miguel Almirón equalized Newcastle. Callum Wilson put some time into the game after a quick attack to give the home side the lead by scoring from the outside on the right.

Captain Kieran Trippier made the fans in Newcastle cheer again 8 minutes after the break by shooting a nice hit from a free kick. City quickly made up for that big deficit with goals in the 60th and 64th minutes, but the goals from Erling Haaland and Silva were not enough to win the match. Newcastle seemed to have to play with ten men in the last fifteen minutes, but the red card for Trippier was reversed on the advice of the VAR.
