Bobb scores late winner for Man City at Newcastle

Kevin de Bruyne scored his initial goal of the season.

Manchester City secured an exciting win over Newcastle at St James' Park with a last-minute goal from Oscar Bobb, bringing them just two points away from Liverpool at the top of the Premier League. The match was full of energy and excitement all the way through to the end.

At 20 years old, the Norwegian athlete made a great play. He received an amazing lofted pass from his teammate, Kevin de Bruyne, who had also been substituted into the game. The Norwegian displayed impressive footwork, allowing him to get the ball past the goalkeeper, Martin Dubravka, and gently tap the ball into the net, which was empty.

The game was amazing, and both teams had their moments of dominance. However, City took charge in the second half and displayed their perseverance and exceptional skills to secure a potentially significant victory in the future.

Although Bobb was ecstatic about scoring his first goal in the Premier League, it was actually De Bruyne who ignited the victory.

Only four minutes and thirty-five seconds had passed since he entered the game when the Belgian player discovered an opening between the opposing team's defense and midfield. He then executed a finish that took the ball into the far corner of the goal.

In the 26th minute of the game, Bernardo Silva scored for the Premier League champions. He did it by performing a remarkable backheel that met Kyle Walker's right-wing cross. However, things quickly changed for the team when Newcastle scored two goals in just three minutes. This put Newcastle in control of the game.

Initially, Alexander Isak obtained a magnificent Bruno Guimaraes pass, and then executed a superb curling shot that surpassed City's substitute goalkeeper Stefan Ortega, who had come in the game to replace the injured Ederson. The ball finally landed into the top corner, making it Isak's fourth goal in four consecutive games.

Next, an opportunity presented itself for Anthony Gordon to advance towards the left side. As Walker opted to retreat, Gordon brilliantly curved the ball into the bottom corner, causing joyous excitement among the home supporters.

The City team had an impressive record of losing just once in 72 Premier League games when they were in the lead. However, this record was in danger during their recent match until their star player, De Bruyne, who has been returning from an injury, stepped up to the plate and secured a goal with a superb shot. He also provided an impressive assist to Bobb, making their victory even more remarkable.

Manager Pep Guardiola and the entire team of Manchester City, including the replacement players, expressed their joyous celebration as the current champions relished in their third consecutive league victory and sixth win in all competitions.

De Bruyne Steps Up Amid Defensive Issues

During most of the current season, City has not been playing at the same level as the one that made them win the Treble last year, particularly in the defensive aspect.

The problems have surfaced once again and this will cause doubts about the recruitment that took place during the summer, as there were some instances of ineffective defending during both goals that Newcastle scored.

In this game, they didn't manage to convert several opportunities into goals, one of which was when Julian Alvarez missed a great chance from eight yards away and hit the ball over the bar. This happened when their opponents were ahead.

They possess a top-notch playmaker in De Bruyne, who could be considered as the best in the world.

With ease, he glided through the air to score the game-tying goal at an important moment in the 74th minute. His expertly positioned and accurate shot served as a display of his ability to alter the course of the game.

The individual who is 32 years of age had their final outing in the league during the month of August whilst playing against Burnley due to being unable to participate as a result of a hamstring-related injury.

In the last minute of the match, De Bruyne managed to make a significant contribution. His pass to Bobb after going behind Kieran Trippier was remarkable and absolutely suited for the game.

The attacker came in from the left side with the ball and displayed excellent control at a short distance before successfully scoring a goal to maintain his impressive performance.

The Blues are moving closer to the top team Liverpool, and now they may be confident in their ability to embark on a winning streak that could lead them to the championship title.

Their next five games in the league will be with teams situated in the lower half of the table. Four of these games will be played at home, where they had not suffered any defeats in 2023.

We don't know yet if the goalkeeper Ederson can play in the upcoming matches. They had to take him out of the game after only eight minutes because he had a crash with Walker, a defender from City, and Sean Longstaff. Their team had a goal disqualified because it was considered offside.

Newcastle Fights On, But Struggles Persist

Newcastle suffered a blow as a consequence of their latest match, since Eddie Howe's team has unfortunately lost in seven out of their last 10 Premier League games. This is a similar outcome as their previous 44 matches before this recent stretch of defeats.

Nonetheless, positive indications were present throughout a captivating meeting.

Although they gave up three goals, they defended tenaciously and sacrificed their bodies frequently as City relentlessly launched one offensive after another.

Guimaraes made an outstanding effort to prevent Phil Foden and Rodri from scoring in a threatening attack, while Fabian Schar also obstructed an Alvarez attempt.

Their objectives were rapid and precise, which is what we've become familiar with witnessing from their offensive strategy helmed by Howe.

The Swedish attacker Isak had a chance to score against Ortega individually before halftime, but unfortunately, he failed. If he had managed to score, the game may have been too difficult for City to come back from.

In the end, just like when they lost against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals and Liverpool in the Premier League earlier in the year, Howe didn't have enough good players available on the bench to change things up and only made one substitution against City.

Newcastle has had a challenging season, and due to losing two consecutive games at home for the first time since the former Bournemouth manager took over, they are now in 10th position and 11 points away from a position in the Champions League.
