Former referee gives verdict on Kieran Trippier's Kevin de Bruyne challenge during Man City draw

Former referee Dermot Gallagher has given his verdict over whether Kieran Trippier should have received a red card during Manchester City's 3-3 draw with Newcastle on Sunday.

City fought back from 3-1 down at a raucous St James' Park as they maintained their unbeaten start to the Premier League season. Ilkay Gundogan got Pep Guardiola's side off to the perfect start with a goal after just five minutes, but City's dominance soon faded.

Newcastle went on to score the next three goals in-a-row to make it 3-1 to Eddie Howe's side as City faced their first real test of the season. The Blues eventually responded with two quick-fire goals on the hour mark as Erling Haaland and Bernardo Silva scored goals just four minutes apart to bring the sides level.
