Marmoush elated after treble against Newcastle | OneFootball

Omar Marmoush has expressed his delight after netting a hat-trick to fire City to a superb 4-0 Premier League victory over Newcastle United.

The Egyptian commenced the scoring at the Etihad Stadium after 19 minutes, latching onto Ederson's long pass to calmly lob us ahead, helping our Brazilian shot-stopper make history with his sixth top-flight assist, the most from any goalkeeper.

Marmoush doubled the lead five minutes later, firing into the bottom corner, before completing his hat-trick shortly after the half-hour mark, sweeping in from Savinho's cross, before James McAtee added a fourth late in the game.
