(Manchester City 2-0 Newcastle, Sheffield United 0-1 Everton) Nobody concedes fewer goals than Manchester City in the Premier League. On Saturday, they scored another win after holding zero, while Everton jumped to second place after a win at Sheffield.
Newcastle more or less didn’t get a single chance, and then it didn’t matter that Manchester City itself didn’t play many times, in what ultimately turned into a controlled victory.
Glimtvis flipped the switch, like when João Cancelo hit Raheem Sterling after 14 minutes. The Englishman deflected two players with a brilliant shot and found Ilkay Gündogan in front of the goal, who from five meters put the ball without problems in the post.
– It is a score that is of the upper level. This is ingenious in many ways, said Brede Hangeland, TV 2 soccer expert, during the break on scoring.
Ten minutes after the second half, there was another joy from City. Ciaran Clark did not have a good day today, continually slipping on the muddy pitch. Ferran Torres lurked there, who easily made it 2-0 from eight meters.
– We could have scored more goals, but the most important were the three points, says Gündogan in an interview with BT Sport, who already plays away against Everton on Monday at 9:00 p.m.
Solveig Gulbrandsen thought that City almost played with the handbrake on in the second half, and was clear in the verdict on the visiting team:
– Newcastle did not show up, says TV 2 soccer expert.

Arsenal broke the nightmare after the dream goals: – I hope this is the turning point
Only Aston Villa have kept a clean sheet more times than Pep Guardiola’s Premier League side this season. Emiliano Martínez has kept a clean sheet for the Birmingham team eight times, but there have been 13 setbacks in return.
Manchester City are on their side with just twelve setbacks and seven games without setback after 14 games and are back in full control at home against Newcastle.
It’s especially the last month that City has impressed on defense. From November 25 to tonight’s game, he has played ten games in all tournaments, ending with just two goals conceded and keeping a clean sheet in eight out of ten games.

At the same time as the match in Manchester, Sheffield United and Everton clashed. There the catastrophic season continued for Sheffield United, losing 1-0 after a late goal from Gylfi Sigurdsson. The Sheffield team is like this without a win after the first 15 games and murmurs only at the bottom, with ten points to safety.
Things are better with Everton, who are now in second place, two points behind city rival Liverpool, with one game more played than the Reds.
– It’s fantastic. We have recovered after a drop in form, so we will try to maintain it. It’s good to be number two in the league, Sigurdsson says.
Oliver Burke also touched on Gareth Bale’s nightmare stats. The 23-year-old has played 24 Premier League games, for West Bromwich and Sheffield United respectively, but has yet to win. No player has played more games without their first win in Premier League history.
