Newcastle United almost secured a famous victory over Manchester City as Eddie Howe’s men had the blue half of Manchester on the ropes at St James’ Park. Against the team many see as the world’s best, United put in one of their best performances of recent times and some left the ground feeling like it was two points dropped.
The game ended 3-3 and in reality, every fan would have taken the point before the clash if it was offered but it shows the height of the performance when some genuinely felt United should have won the game. After going 1-0 behind, Newcastle went 3-1 up but it was always going to be a task to keep the quality of City from coming back.
In the end, a point against Pep Guardiola is one to be celebrated and even more so in a game that was thoroughly entertaining. With so much happening, it’s a fair bet that you have missed some moments.
