VIDEO: Man City vs Newcastle 3-1 All Goals & Highlights

Shelvey caresses a cross into the City box from the left, Gayle heads over when he should work Ederson at the very least, and that’s that! So for the second time in a month, Rafa Benitez’s plan for a rope-a-dope smash-and-grab briefly threatens to bear a little fruit … but ultimately ends in failure, with the possession stats more damning than the actual scoreline. Newcastle battled hard and showed great discipline, but ultimately City were just too darn good, with Leroy Sane and hat-trick hero Sergio Aguero particularly impressive. Newcastle remain a couple of points above the relegation zone, while City go 12 points clear of Manchester United at the top.
