Gvardiol And Gordon Score As Newcastle Utd Hold Man City To A 1-1 Draw
UEFA Champions League Stage: Defending champions Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw by Newcastle United in a fiery encounter at St James Park here on Saturday. City took the lead in the first half through Josko Gvardiol, who finished off a well-worked move involving Jack Grealish.
However, Newcastle fought back and were awarded a penalty midway through the second half when Anthony Gordon was brought down by Ederson. Gordon stepped up and calmly converted the spot-kick to level the scores.
City had early attempts through Manuel Akanji and Erling Haaland but there were few chances in the opening half hour despite a frenetic pace. It was Lewis who made a clever run behind the Newcastle defence from Gvardiol’s free-kick and the ball was worked to Ilkay Gundogan on the edge of the box but he miscued his attempt.
