Man City beat Newcastle 2-0 to keep in touch with title-rivals Arsenal | Football News – Times of India
NEW DELHI: Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City maintained pressure on leaders Arsenal with a 2-0 win over Newcastle in the Premier League on Saturday.
Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva scored for City as they moved two points behind the title-rivals.
City did not look comfortable against a powerful Newcastle team that was dangerous on the counterattack but still managed crucial goals on either sides of the half.
Foden, who had been sidelined earlier this season with a nagging foot injury, put City ahead in the 15th minute with his fourth goal in three games in all competitions.
The midfielder showed remarkable control, weaving through four Newcastle defenders and into the box before his angled shot glanced off the outstretched foot of Sven Botman and past keeper Nick Pope.
Silva came off the bench in the 65th minute and the Portugal international scored two minutes later with a sharp finish past Pope after a flick from Erling Haaland.
It was another blow to Newcastle’s top-four hopes with Eddie Howe’s side, who lost 2-0 to Manchester United in last week’s League Cup final, having recorded just win in their last eight league games.
