A great game took place at St James' Park where Manchester City made an epic comeback to beat Newcastle United 3-2. The guests, led by Pep Guardiola, were the first to score with a goal from Portuguese Bernardo Silva (26th). But the Magpies turned the game around with goals from Alexander Isak (35th) and Anthony Gordon (37th).
Despite the odds, the citizens did not give up and in return demonstrated their entire hierarchy. Kevin De Bruyne made it 2-2 in the 74th minute, while Oscar Bobb secured an agonizing victory in the 91st minute and kept the Sky Blue at the top of the Premier League.
This result leaves Manchester City in second place in the English competition with 43 points, 5 points behind leaders Liverpool, while Newcastle are in tenth place.

As if that wasn't enough, De Bruyne was able to rediscover goal after eight months, four of which he was injured. The Belgian midfielder didn't hesitate to express his joy at ending his goal drought.
“It’s more about willpower than quality. I know I can't do this for ninety minutes now. But I can play at full speed for 20 or 25 minutes. It can't get any better. Getting here is difficult. Everyone was happy for me about everything that happened. We want to try to fight for the league again. It is important to win here in a difficult game,” explained De Bruyne.
Manchester City are set to give the Premier League a run for their money as they face Tottenham in the round of 32 of the FA Cup on Friday 26 January. The Sky Blues will then host Burnley in the Premier League at the Etihad Stadium on January 31st.
