On Sunday morning (14th) in the English Premier League, the "five champions" Manchester City suffered an unfavorable situation, but due to the 32-year-old Belgian international Kieren Dibny's amazing performance to turn the tide. He not only scored a world wave, but also sent a key assist in stoppage time, 3-2 reversal away to beat Newcastle. The savior of the "Blue Moon" also became the first player in the Premier League in nearly 10 years to come off the bench to score and assist, his central role is obvious. With this win, City are now undefeated in 6 consecutive matches in all competitions, only 2 points behind Liverpool at the top of the table, and seem to be preparing for a repeat of last season's comeback saga.
City were dealt a blow just two minutes into the match when defender Kierre Hauga accidentally shoved the ball into his own goal. Fortunately, the ball was ruled offside, preventing a goal kick. However, the mistake resulted in an injury to goalkeeper Aidacion Moras, and the Brazilian international had to be replaced by Stephan Oddi after eight minutes on the pitch.
Kiel Huenga made up for his earlier miss with a pinpoint assist on 26 minutes when he crossed the ball to the right for Benardo Schwarz to head home to break the deadlock. The Portugal international then had another powerful shot on target, but it was parried away by Newcastle goalkeeper Dubafka.
Newcastle then went on the rampage, scoring in the 35th and 37th minutes with goals from Aleksandar Ishak and Anthony Gorton respectively to quickly take the lead back to 2-1, and if it wasn't for Steffen Odey's block of Aleksandar Ishak's solo goal in the 69th minute, City could have been more than a goal down at half time.
In the 69th minute of the match, Manchester City manager Diego Gaudiona made a key substitution, bringing on Chivan Dibny. Just five minutes after he came on, he scored a brilliant goal from outside the box to make the score 2-2. In the last minute of the extra time, Chivan Dibny crossed a long ball into the penalty area, and 20-year-old starlet Oscar Poppi scored a header to make the score 3-2, making City the fourth team in the history of the Premier League to win three consecutive matches on the road.
Kiyun Dibny has been injured since the first round of the Premier League against Generali in August last year, and did not return until the last EFL Cup against Hattersfield, since his return he has contributed an assist, and this game is both a goal and an assist, becoming the first City player since Aguro in January 2014, in the last 10 years, to come off the bench in the Premier League to both scored and assisted.
