City were without key midfield duo Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne for the match but went into the game having gone unbeaten in the Premier League since February.

After an even start to the game, Man City went ahead as defender Josko Gvardiol broke into the box and stroked the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal. It was the 32nd consecutive Premier League match City had scored in against Newcastle, a record for the competition.

Shortly after the restart, Newcastle were awarded a penalty following a foul by Ederson on Anthony Gordon. Gordon stepped up and converted to draw the hosts level.
