On Saturday night, the English Premier League match ushered in a key battle - "Oil Match", Manchester City won 2-0 against Newcastle, and after winning all three points, the gap with the top of the table Arsenal was further narrowed. Phil Cotton broke the goal again after the last round of the EFL Cup, and won the Golden Ball Award with a wonderful shot of "1 twisting 4", and his form is fully recovered. Newcastle, on the other hand, suffered three consecutive defeats in all competitions after losing in the EFL Cup final, and fell into the doldrums.
Manchester City finally returned to action at home after five consecutive away games. Chivan Dibny and Phil Cotton, who made their comebacks in the last round of the EFL Cup, continue to start, attacking with Enin Yarant and Kiely Shue, while for Newcastle, striker Anthony Gorton comes in for Sint Maximin, with central defender Nathanael Siewers and keeper Nicky Purby returning to the defense.
At the beginning of the match, the "Blue Moon" showed strong, Phil Cotton received a cross from Lodikas Jandi, broke from the right to the penalty area, surrounded by four defenders, close to the door of Nick Purby's goal, scored for the third consecutive game, the first 15 minutes to break the deadlock of Manchester City.
In the second half, Newcastle launched a frantic comeback, bringing on Sint Maesmin and Alexander Ishak to strengthen the attack, and combining with Zurianton to launch an onslaught of attacks, but unfortunately lacked the final blow. On the other hand, Chiarelles was on the attack, Ainin Yarant crossed the ball from the top of the box and Benedetto Schwarz scored with an easy shot to make the score 2-0 on 67 minutes.
A clash ensued at one point and fortunately, strong and timely mediation prevented the situation from escalating, with Enin Yarant and Daniel James each receiving a yellow card. In the end, City managed to hold on for the win as the whistle blew for the finish.
