Omar Marmoush delivered a dazzling performance with a first-half hat-trick, leaving Newcastle United reeling and marking his arrival at Manchester City in style.
Substitute James McAtee rounded out the scoring with a late fourth goal, ensuring City dispatched their opponents with ease. However, it wasn’t all smooth sailing for Pep Guardiola’s squad, as Erling Haaland exited the match late with a concerning right knee injury, just days ahead of City’s crucial Champions League play-off second leg in Madrid.
This victory catapulted City to fourth place in the standings while pushing Newcastle down to seventh.
