Well, Holand and Burn arranged a showdown with Newcaulus on the field.
In the first part of the season, Newkasl confidently held the third place in the table, but in 2023 the team had a clear decline. Only one victory over the last seven rounds of the Premier League. As a result, “Manchester United” and “Tottenham” were passed forward, and the crisis “Liverpool” behind only two points.
The match with City began very eloquently. A minute later, Gundogan beat his head without resistance and right in front of the gate - did not hit. In the first half, de Breyne and Holand beat past, but Foden hit. Moreover, the goal of the moment created himself. Started on a semi -flange 30 meters from the gate, left for dribbling from the opponents and scored from the goalkeeper line.
True, after the blow of Foden, he was ricochet from the defender, but the goal turned out to be unique in a sense. It is generally accepted that Guardiola teams are too fond of playing the pass. And Foden's ball is the exact opposite. Just dribbling through a bunch of rivals.
Games in PAS of City, of course, was also enough. It seemed that the hosts tried to keep the ball more for the sake of monitoring the situation than to create dangerous moments at the opponent’s gates. And not to say that this approach worked. The second half began with the five good moments of Newcasl. And when it seemed that the guests were about to equalize, City scored the second. Moreover, Bernard Silva did this, who had just replaced instead of de Breyne. Hoolem was given by Holand, who already has 27+5 according to the “goal+pass” system for 25 matches in the Premier League.
On this, the result, in fact, was done. In the remaining time, the teams were noted only by a small skirmish. Soldered Burn and Holand.
So City reduced the lag behind Arsenal to two points. True, the Arteta team has a match with Bournmut in reserve.
