Score Newcastle 3-3 Man City

Newcastle XI: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn, Guimaraes, Willock, Joelinton, Almiron, Saint-Maximin, Wilson

Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Stones, Ake, Cancelo, Rodrigo, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Bernardo, Haaland, Foden

Newcastle need to take today's result as a huge positive, despite the disappointment of letting a two-goal lead slip.

They have shown today that they can go toe to toe with the very best that the Premier League has to offer.

They should go into any game with no fear, knowing if they play their game, they can cause any team MASSIVE problems.

To come back against the champions and then sail into a two-goal lead should leave Newcastle with confidence running high.

In Nick Pope they have a goalkeeper who can win games on his own and the evolution of Newcastle United looks in good hands under Eddie Howe.

Not many Newcastle fans truly expected their team to come out of this game with their unbeaten start to the season in tact.

At one stage some of them thought they could actually win this game and would spend the evening in dreamland.

Man City showed their class in the manner of their comeback after being two goals down.

Both Newcastle and City sit in the top five of the table with a big fat zero in the loss column of the table.

Allan Saint-Maximin was the game changer for Newcastle today and seemed to change the outcome for both sides.
