Match highlight:

The game’s narrative took shape as Newcastle United made ten changes to their lineup from their recent historic victory against Sheffield United. Among those changes, Lewis Hall and 17-year-old Lewis Miley received their first starts. Manchester City, while not making as many changes, still shuffled their roster significantly. Only three players from their previous match maintained their starting positions.

The first half played out much like the typical script when Manchester City visits – they dominated possession, orchestrated plays in the final third, and probed for weaknesses in their opponents’ defense. Newcastle held firm, with goalkeeper Nick Pope making crucial saves, particularly against the lively youngster Oscar Bobb.

Towards the end of the first half, Newcastle created their best chance of the game. Joelinton initiated a quick move, setting up Alexander Isak, who in turn played a precise pass to Jacob Murphy on the right wing. Murphy surged toward Stefan Ortega’s goal and unleashed a shot, well saved by the City backup keeper. It served as a warning sign for Manchester City of things to come in the second half.

Player of the Match: Tino Livramento

Despite limited possession, this match demanded patience and defensive resilience from Newcastle, with Tino Livramento exemplifying these qualities. The young right-back displayed intelligence, composure, and a mature performance.

He effectively nullified Grealish’s impact, forcing the winger to take speculative long-range shots. Livramento’s performance resembled that of his senior counterpart, Kieran Trippier, making a strong case for a long-term role as Trippier’s successor at right-back. Eddie Howe can be confident in his choice based on Livramento’s stellar performance in this game.
