Manchester City were held to a second consecutive draw in the Premier League after Newcastle United earned a point against the reigning champions at St. James’ Park on Saturday.
In a scrappy affair in which eight yellow cards were handed out, City took the lead after 35 minutes when winger Jack Grealish found Josko Gvardiol with a pass and the full back skilfully turned Dan Burn before firing in at the bottom corner.
Newcastle struck back in the 58th minute when Anthony Gordon went one-on-one with City goalkeeper Ederson, who conceded a penalty by tripping the forward. The England international scored from the spot to level the game at 1-1.
City remain top of the table with 14 points from six games as they wait for Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal to play their games, while Newcastle are fifth with 11 points.
