Manchester City is stalled by Newcastle United and Nick Woltemade in the title race of the English Premier League.
Team manager Pep Guardiola’s team lost a wild exchange of blows at St. James’ Park 1-2 (0-0), thus spoiling the dress rehearsal for the Champions League duel with German runner-up Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday (9:00 pm).
Nick Woltemade missed some big chances
DFB star Woltemade missed three good chances and almost despaired at City keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma before Harvey Barnes broke the spell in the open duel with top-class finishes on both sides (63).
DFB professional Thiaw convinces
City reacted and quickly equalized through Rúben Dias (68), but Barnes scored again on a rebound (70). However, the goal to 2-1 had a VAR review for minutes due to a possible offside position. For the Magpies, national player Malick Thiaw convinced in central defense.
