Bernardo Silva doubled our lead in the second half after Erling Haaland held the ball and laid it off to Bernardo Silva who took a touch and poked it past Pope on the stretch.

And speaking to mancity.com in the post-match interview, the Portuguese midfielder was elated with our attacking play to open up the Magpies.
“A very important win against a very good side that’s well organised,” the no. 20 exclaimed.
“I think they are one of the best defensively because of how physical they are, you could see that the game was very tough.
