In the early morning of November 23, the 12th round of the Premier League ushered in a strong showdown. Newcastle sat at home and faced Manchester City with a total worth of 1.21 billion.

In a two-front battle, Newcastle will inevitably lose sight of one. In the Champions League, the Magpies have won three consecutive victories, but in the last two rounds of the league, Newcastle has lost to West Ham United and Brentford. After 10 rounds, Newcastle only has 12 points and ranks 14th.

Manchester City is gradually getting back on track, ushering in 4 consecutive victories in all competitions. In the past 6 league rounds, Blue Moon has scored 15 points. Before this round, it was only 4 points away from Arsenal at the top of the list.

After the start, Manchester City turned against the visitors and once occupied the initiative on the court. Doku has been transformed into a new version of De Bruyne by Guardiola, threatening Newcastle's goal through wonderful passes one after another.

In the 12th minute, Newcastle threatened Manchester City's goal for the first time. Walter Mader's header was very powerful. Donnarumma quickly fell to the ground and made an incredible save.

In the 18th minute, Doku sent a wonderful pass. Foden broke into the penalty area and shot. Scheer's tackle came late. Foden was stepped on. The referee determined that there was no foul.

In the 26th minute, Tonali launched an attack. Murphy moved towards the center and took away the defender. Walter Mader's shot was blocked by Donnarumma. The Bundesliga striker personally experienced the wall of sighs of the "World's First Gate".

In the 31st minute, Newcastle once again played exquisite cooperation. Murphy's cross was no longer comfortable. Barnes faced the empty goal and knocked the ball away.

Newcastle got three chances in succession, but they were either wasted or saved by Donnarumma. The home fans sighed.

In the 35th minute, Doku did not choose to break through from the side but passed directly. O'Reilly made a pass, Harland's collision shot, and Pope truly performed a wall to block the ball.

In the 42nd minute, Manchester City got another chance. Shirki's cross was comfortable enough. Foden's left foot shot actually missed the ball.

At halftime, the two teams ended in a goalless draw 0-0. After the start of the second half, the duel with wasted opportunities continued.

In the 57th minute, Murphy passed the ball directly without stopping. Walter Mader's semi-single shot failed to hit the angle. Donnarumma once again made a key save.

The camera was focused on the Newcastle players. Walter Mader looked in disbelief, and Murphy had his hands on his hips, quite helpless.

In the 63rd minute, Newcastle stole the ball in the frontcourt, Joelinton sent an assist, and Barnes broke the deadlock.

In the 68th minute, Manchester City took a corner kick, and there was chaos in front of Newcastle's goal. Shelki sent an assist, and Dias scored his first goal in the past five years to equalize the score.

Manchester City fans were only happy for 2 minutes. Newcastle made a comeback, Walter Mader's header flew over, Guimarães hit the crossbar with a header, and Barnes scored twice with a supplementary shot.

After the two teams wasted 8 major opportunities in total, in just 7 minutes, the two teams scored 3 goals against each other and staged a magical drama.

In the end, Manchester City, worth a total of 1.21 billion euros, lost 1-2 to Newcastle in an away game, ending their four-game winning streak in all competitions. After this game, Manchester City was overtaken by Chelsea and fell to third place.
