Pep Guardiola's team successfully continued their fight for first place, defeating a middling club with a score of 2:1.

All the goals of the match were scored in the first half, and the main hero of the meeting was 20-year-old Manchester City midfielder Nico O'Reilly, who hit the opponent's goal twice.

The City midfielder put his team ahead in the 14th minute when he hit goalkeeper Nick Pope with a powerful shot from the penalty area.. Newcastle were able to restore equality in the 22nd minute thanks to Lewis Hall, who, after a corner, decided to take a long-range shot, and the ball, ricocheted from Ryan Ait-Nouri, flew into the City goal.

However, the draw lasted only five minutes.. Erling Haaland sent the ball from the right flank to the far post, and O'Reilly headed the ball into the net from the line, thus completing a double.
