CITY OF MANCHESTER – NEWCASTLE 2-0:
The match ended with an easy 2-0 win for Pep Guardiola’s men on Saturday night. Ilkay Gündogan and Ferran Torres scored the goals for the locals.
Torres is City’s top scorer this season with his seven acquaintances online.
Only defeated by Haaland
According to the statistics company Opta, only one well-known Norwegian scores more goals than Torres this season of all players who are the same age or younger.
Only Erling Haaland (17 goals, 20 years and 158 days) has scored more goals than Torres (7 goals, 20 years and 301 days), writes Opta.
City relied on the victory to have good control over Liverpool at the top of the table. Until Jurgen Klopp’s men, there are now five points when 14 rounds have been completed for both teams.
City also had two draws in the last three games before Saturday’s game with Newcastle, so the victory was important to get back on track.
Newcastle had another disappointing night at work. The Blue and Whites never managed to test the home team properly.

Manchester City were a huge favorite before kick-off, and it was only 14 minutes before the ball was in the net behind Newcastle goalkeeper Karl Darlow.
Raheem Sterling should have a lot of credit for the goal, which Ilkay Gündogan got credit for putting on the net. Sterling slipped the ball into the Newcastle penalty area, fooled two or three men and got Gündogan out. From close range, he had no problem putting the home team in the lead.
– An absolutely fantastic goal. In many ways ingenious, said TV 2 expert Brede Hangeland during the break afterward.
The second half had only ten minutes when City increased the lead.
After a little fight with the defender, João Cancelo finally got the ball in. The post was blocked just in front of the goal and ended right in the legs of 20-year-old Ferran Torres.
The forward had an easy job increasing to 2-0 from close range.
It was also the end result.
New games around the corner
Both Manchester City and Newcastle now have just one match for 2020. City face Everton in a duel at Goodison Park on December 28, while Newcastle face Liverpool at home the following day.
