Manchester City 3-2 Newcastle

Both teams are backed by a deep-pocketed West Asian consortium, and the level of interest in this game speaks for itself. Pep Guardiola, who went to the road, changed his formation to 4-2-3-1, with Alvarez, Foden, Doku and B joining the attacking group, De Bruyne on the bench, and Haaland still hanging the exemption card.

However, after the start of the game, Newcastle at home was full of momentum, and Isak assisted Longstaff to score in the second minute, but unfortunately the former was offside, and Manchester City escaped, but paid the price of Ederson's injury. In the 26th minute, Manchester City scored, Doku got rid of the middle and then passed diagonally, Walker inserted a cross from the right, and the heel of the B seat shot into the net, 1-0!4 minutes later, Doku crossed from the left side just right, and the volley in front of the B seat goal, Dubravka flew to save and renewed the life for Newcastle.

After another 2 minutes, Dan Byrne passed the ball on the left, Anthony Gordon copied and pasted, and scored at a similar angle, and Newcastle instantly overtook 2-1!

Yibian looked conservative in the rematch against Newcastle, and the whole team shrank widely, hoping to block Manchester City's counterattack through the iron bucket formation, but it backfired. In the 69th minute, De Bruyne came on as a substitute and removed the scorer B. Just five minutes later, Rodri sent in a clever cross with the outside of his foot, De Bruyne drove the ball into the box and suddenly got up to shoot, the ball passed through Scher's goal and into the bottom left corner to give City an equaliser.

In the 91st minute, Kevin De Bruyne sent his trademark long ball over the top, and Oscar Bob, who also came on as a substitute, lived up to expectations, swaying Kieran Trippier away and then cleverly past Dubravka to easily push the empty net.

With De Bruyne's 1 shot and 1 pass, Manchester City reversed and beat Newcastle 3-2, winning 6 consecutive victories and surpassing Villa, only 2 points behind Liverpool. Considering that Manchester City has one game less, the initiative to win the title is back in the hands of the Blue Moon Army.
