Bernardo Silva explains where Man City went wrong in thrilling Newcastle draw

Bernardo Silva believes Manchester City lost their composure going forward and didn't do enough to contain Newcastle United's threat in the breathtaking match-up at St James' Park.

City's perfect start to their Premier League title defence screeched to a halt on Sunday when a relentless Newcastle rocked the Blues and held them to a 3-3 draw, though it could have been a lot worse. It looked like business as usual when Ilkay Gundogan opened the scoring after just five minutes but the Magpies were undeterred.

The excellent Allan Saint-Maximin ran City ragged and it was no surprise when he played a key part in Miguel Almiron's equaliser and set up Callum Wilson for the second in a remarkable spell of football in which they could have scored even more, something Bernardo believes could well have happened.
