City steal victory at Magpies

Newcastle 0 Man City 2

Newcastle took Manuel Pellegrini’s side to added time and probably had the better of things over 90 minutes, but they could not break the deadlock and instead were left digesting an unflattering 2-0 defeat. And while City’s strike pair must take their share of the praise for neat finishes in the 99th and 115th minutes, Pantilimon also did everything that was asked of him.

City made 10 changes from the side beaten by Chelsea, the least surprising saw struggling Hart stepping down.
