Fabulous Phil Foden was on target again as Manchester City closed the gap on Premier League leaders Arsenal to two points, with a 2-0 win over Newcastle at the Etihad on Saturday.
City’s winger took his recent tally to four goals in three games just 15 minutes into the contest, gliding past at least three Newcastle defenders before Sven Botman diverted his close-range shot past Nick Pope.
Newcastle had their moments at the other end, with Sean Longstaff’s shot blocked and Callum Wilson miscuing in the first half before subs Joe Willock and Alexander Isak threatened after the break but it was Bernardo Silva who stepped off the bench to score the decisive second goal (67) for the hosts.
