Suddenly surprised by two goals in three minutes from Newcastle after half an hour, Kevin de Bruyne came to the rescue of Manchester City in the last twenty minutes, with the goal to make it 2-2 and the assist to make it 2-3 for the fantastic definition from Bobb, making a crucial comeback in extra time in the 91st minute (2-3), when the setback already seemed inevitable.

Towards the end he took advantage of a double chance. First they overtook Aston Villa for second place. After that, they mainly remained two points behind Liverpool’s lead, having avoided the setback at Saint James’s Park and consolidated their response, with six consecutive wins, three of them consecutive as visitors. Newcastle tested him. And he emerged victorious, without Erling Haaland and with a lead on the scoreboard in the 25th minute, that wasn’t enough.
A beautiful goal from Bernardo Silva. The way he finished Walker’s cross from the right, with an incredible back heel with Fabian Schar’s resistance, was pure magic, as De Bruyne later showed for the comeback or Bobb in the action of the final 2-3.
City took the two resounding and accurate right-handers from Newcastle. The first, in the 34th minute, from Isak. Bruno Guimaraes’ long pass was perfect. Also the shot from the Swedish attacker. The second, 2-1 in the 36th minute, from Gordon, who did the same, even in a more complex position.

The local comeback. Within moments, abruptly. Until then, apart from Bernardo Silva’s 0-1, City had created chances to put the game to bed, with two actions from Foden and, above all, a beautiful volley from the Portuguese midfielder that Dubravka was able to clear against the post, when the match was more than any other result on the visitor’s path to victory.
There was barely half a minute between Foden’s last shot and Isak’s 1-1. There the game changed radically. Until the break. The chances were Newcastle’s, reloading with conviction. Ortega seemed to prevent the 3-1. It was the time of the locals in the latter part of the first act. They were defeated and were winners at halftime. Lots of merit against City.
Nervous, amid the continued protests of Rodri, who claimed Bruno Guimaraes’ second yellow card, the current European and Premier champion felt insecure, far from the level at which he had led the game to the draw, with barely some concern. in his area, until he was relegated on the scoreboard after the first third of the match.
Until the equalizer, there had been hardly any work for Stefan Ortega, Ederson’s replacement. Guardiola lost the ball in the eighth minute, actually earlier. In a minute and a half. The blow suffered by his teammate Kyle Walker, as they desperately launched themselves face to face to avoid Longstaff’s shot at the first chance of the match, left the Brazilian goalkeeper out of action for the rest of the clash at Saint James’s Park came.

Treated on the pitch, with his left knee bandaged, the next action showed that Ederson was in no position to continue or defend Manchester City’s goal in a match of such magnitude. The action was offside, but was not spotted until the game had already ended. The result was an injury to the goalkeeper.
The second half brought City back to life. The scoreboard put pressure on him. Pride rebelled against him. Their resources, their football, their potential, make them a team capable of anything. Initially, they took control of the match again, dominant, oppressive, against Newcastle, in which Dubravka flew to fend off the most serious threat of a draw yet: a direct free kick from Julián Álvarez in the 53rd minute. The goalkeeper’s reaction was convincing.
Walker then brought the area to a boil, with a double defensive intervention from Bruno Guimaraes that was vital. Firstly, because he took the ball from Foden as he prepared to score. Then for hitting the ball just enough to cancel out Rodri’s full speed approach towards the shot. Newcastle’s resistance, later personified again in Dubravka, frustrated Julián Álvarez again.
But it was already a total offensive. Doku on one side and Walker on the other. Foden, Bernardo Silva and Julián Álvarez enter. Rodrigo’s recovery is getting better. And the match was moved entirely to the local ground, waiting for Newcastle’s endurance or Manchester City’s attacking success, without Erling Haaland, who has been out due to injury since December.

So much exposure also has its risks. Isak discovered them. Ortega solved them. The goalkeeper won the individual duel against the attacker. In the other area, Julián Álvarez failed again. An unhindered finish. An invitation to the goal. He sent it very high with his left. The goal already felt like a matter of time.
Kevin de Bruyne had already entered the field. Overflowing, unstoppable, unquestionable. His return to the Premier five months later (he had already returned to competition in the English Cup) demonstrated this without nuance.
When he got between the lines, when he drove the ball in, when he shot with his right foot out of reach of Dubravka to make it 2-2 in the 73rd minute. His second shot, the goal City so desperately wanted, and later won in the 91st minute with a pass from him and a beautiful goal from Bobb. The center and definition.
