The 20-year-old Norwegian connected with Kevin de Bruyne’s sublime pass to bypass goalie Martin Dubravka for his first Premier League goal, capping a pulsating match at St. James' Park.

City, who trailed after Bernardo Silva’s ingenious 26th-minute opener was overturned by quick strikes from Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon, dominated the second half. De Bruyne, recently back from injury, made a dramatic impact with a stunning equalizing goal followed by his assist for Bobb.

Despite City's defensive lapses and missed chances, De Bruyne showcased why he's considered among the world's best playmakers. The win, City's sixth consecutive across competitions, saw celebrations from Pep Guardiola and his squad, pointing towards another potential title charge with favorable upcoming fixtures.

For Newcastle, the defeat adds to a concerning trend of recent losses, though their determined defense and quick attacking under manager Eddie Howe offered some positives.

As they aim to recapture form, their lack of depth and challenging league position become more apparent. Meanwhile, City’s concerns about Ederson's availability loom after his early-game injury.
