Toughest fixture of the season.

These official Manchester City 1 Newcastle 0 match highlights telling the story of the game.

Some excellent defensive play from Newcastle United, meaning only four efforts on target for Man City.

Unfortunately, one of those four was a superb striker from Alvarez that flew into the top corner.

I thought it was unstoppable but some NUFC fans claiming Nick Pope could have saved it.

Judge for yourself.

The best / most dangerous moment for Newcastle United came when Callum Wilson made the wrong choice and missed the opportunity to play in Almiron for a one on one with the Man City keeper.

Bruno Guimaraes also had a decent shooting opportunity from just outside the box but dragged it wide.

See for yourselves.

Great to see NUFC battling right until the end but they didn’t quite have enough.
