Pep Guardiola took his side up to the north east for Saturday’s lunchtime match expecting another big test.
And after a frantic first half, we went it at the break a goal ahead thanks to Josko Gvardiol’s opener.
The Croatian expertly finished after great work from Jack Grealish in the build-up with his pass slicing through the Magpies’ defence.
But the home side were level just before the hour mark when Anthony Gordon scored from the penalty spot after he was brought down by Ederson.
City kept pushing forward in search of a winner with Phil Foden and Erling Haaland going close.
And Newcastle keeper Nick Pope made a superb save in injury time to keep out Bernardo Silva’s well-hit volley as we were forced to settle for a point.
