Manchester City and Newcastle faced each other this Sunday for the 36th round of the Premier League. By the score of 5 to 0, the citizens added three more points and gained the upper hand in the fight for the tournament title.
With the result, the team led by Pep Guardiola went to 86 points and overtook second-placed Liverpool, who stumbled in the round. Despite the elimination in the Champions League for Real Madrid, the team did not lose strength in the clash with the English and is closer to lifting the cup.
City now enter the field this Wednesday. At 16:15 (Brasília time), the team visits West Ham. Newcastle, in turn, only plays on the 16th, Monday, against Arsenal, at 16:00.
The game – With Pep Guardiola’s team in full swing, Newcastle couldn’t find peace in their defensive area. In the tenth minute, after a corner kick by De Bruyne, Laporte headed in a free-kick, but sent it over the goal.
Eight minutes later, the marker was opened. After working the ball well, the City team went down to the attack. Grealish played for Gundogan, who threw it into the area and found Cancelo. The winger braced for Sterling, who hit the net.
Then Newcastle reacted quickly, but the goal scored was disallowed. Lascelles headed for the goal after the corner, but the ball hit Brazilian Bruno Guimarães and left for Burn. The player finished, but was offside.
To complete the good performance, Manchester increased the count. Rúben Dia appeared in a great opportunity in the area to push to the back of the goal and go down to the changing rooms with great advantage.
If Bruno Guimarães didn’t take advantage of the chance he had at the beginning of the second stage, City discounted in the sequence.
The team won again in the air and, after the corner, Rodri appeared at the first post to head and overcome the opposing goalkeeper. To complete, Foden and Sterling closed the rout.
