Newcastle United Stuns Manchester City in Thrilling 2-1 Victory
Newcastle United secured a momentous 2-1 victory over Manchester City on Saturday, November 22, 2025, marking their frist league win against City under manager Eddie Howe in 19 attempts. A brace from Harvey Barnes, scoring in the 63rd and 70th minutes, propelled Newcastle to a crucial win, despite a Ruben Dias equaliser for City.
The result is a important boost for Newcastle,who began the match sitting in 15th place,just one point above the relegation zone. This win arrives ahead of a challenging Champions League fixture against Marseille on Tuesday evening, offering a surge of confidence for Howe’s squad.
Following the match, the manager addressed concerns regarding goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma’s visible frustration, stating, “You see him complain and that is as something wrong happened. It happened the same at Bournemouth.”
Howe also highlighted the importance of momentum in the second half, explaining, “We had the momentum. We scored rapid after they scored and then they scored again from a corner.”
When questioned about a conversation with Bruno Guimaraes at full-time, Howe responded, “I said how good he is (but that conversation) is for private situations.Everything is fine.”
