Events

Match Events

0' Welcome to Etihad Stadium that hosts another battle between Manchester City FC and Newcastle United FC.
5' Josko Gvardiol is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Newcastle United FC so far.
10' The travelling Newcastle United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
15' The energy levels are beginning to show. Pep Guardiola might look to freshen things up shortly.
20' Croatia international Mateo Kovacic has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
24' Newcastle United FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
29' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
31' The deadlock is broken! Julian Alvarez gets on the scoresheet on 31 minutes.
34' Sandro Tonali is having his name booked by the referee on 34.
39' With 0 assists to his name this season, Ruben Dias is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Manchester City FC.
44' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Jack Grealish suffering a number of foals already.
46' Julian Alvarez has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 46.
51' Manchester City FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
54' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Joelinton.
56' It is a substitution in Newcastle United FC team. Anthony Gordon is replaced by Harvey Barnes on 56 minute.
57' Time for substitution for Newcastle United FC. Joelinton is replaced by Sean Longstaff.
58' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Harvey Barnes on 58 minutes.
63' Supporters expect more eagerness from Harvey Barnes, as he is very good at scoring at Etihad Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
66' Fresh legs for Newcastle United FC! Callum Wilson comes on to replace Alexander Isak.
67' A tactical swap from Newcastle United FC — Elliot Anderson on, Sandro Tonali off on 67 minutes.
71' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Bruno Guimaraes on 71 minutes.
76' Rodri is a natural midfielder and has been asked to do a very specific job for Manchester City FC tonight.
81' It looks like no one’s ball. Newcastle United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
86' Valentino Livramento gets the nod from Newcastle United FC. He replaces Miguel Almiron and will look to change the dynamic.
Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Manchester City FC players.
