Manchester City Cruise to Commanding 4-0 Victory Over Newcastle
In a dominant display, Manchester City secured a convincing 4-0 triumph over Newcastle United in the Premier League (PL), extending their remarkable home record to 16 consecutive wins.
Coming off a disappointing midweek loss to Real Madrid, Pep Guardiola’s side were determined to bounce back strongly against the Magpies. The hosts wasted no time in taking control of the match, with a scintillating first-half hat-trick from the in-form Omar Marmoush setting the tone for the dominant performance.

The hosts came flying out of the blocks, and their early pressure was rewarded in the 19th minute when a long ball from Ederson released Marmoush through on goal. The Egyptian striker kept his composure to loft a sublime lob over Martin Dubravka for the opening goal.
Just five minutes later, Marmoush doubled City’s lead, sweeping home a low finish from 18 yards after good work by İlkay Gündoğan. Buoyed by their commanding start, the rampant Cityzens extended their advantage before the break, with Marmoush completing a remarkable first-half hat-trick.
Savinho’s impressive vision picked out Marmoush in the box, and the forward powered a clinical first-time effort into the corner to cap off a scintillating individual performance.

City continued to dominate proceedings at the start of the second half, with Dubravka called into action to deny Savinho and Erling Haaland in quick succession. While the visitors refused to give up, Ederson was alert to parry a swerving strike from Lewis Miley as Newcastle searched for a way back into the match.
City’s relentless pressure eventually paid off, and they added a fourth goal in the closing stages when substitute James McAtee volleyed home from Haaland’s flicked header, sealing a comprehensive victory for the hosts.
The win marks City’s first clean sheet in seven matches, and propels them to fourth in the Premier League table. Meanwhile, Newcastle suffer their third defeat in four league games, losing valuable ground in the race for a UEFA Champions League spot.
