An injury-time winner by Oscar Bobb inflicted a fourth straight Premier League defeat on Newcastle United.

Transcript

00:00 Newcastle United 2 Manchester City 3 and yeah it's a really difficult game to sum up that one.

00:07 I thought in the main Newcastle United's performance was good, certainly first half anyway.

00:14 Newcastle went behind through Bernardo Silva's opener but yeah they came back into a quick fire

00:20 double from Alexander Izak and Anthony Gordon, two incredible finishers into the bottom right

00:28 hand corner at that end there. They have all the goalers and goal sticks on up now but

00:32 yeah I thought Newcastle were good value for their lead at half time. A lot of high intensity,

00:40 spirit, just everything you associate with Eddie Howe's team or have over Eddie Howe's time as

00:46 Newcastle United manager. I thought that was there in the first half but yeah in the second half

00:52 Newcastle couldn't replicate their attacking performance, they didn't ask many questions of the

00:58 the City defence and as a result City continued to pile on the pressure.

01:02 It opened me in the end the pressure at all but yeah Newcastle's defence was

01:08 unlocked by the fantastic Kevin De Bruyne. Yeah look see what you want, there's an

01:15 opposition reporter, there's an opposition fan, he is an incredible footballer. He's been out for

01:21 five months, that was only his second game back from recovering from a heart scare injury and

01:28 yeah he flipped the game on its head. A goal to make, a 2-2 with an incredible finish into the

01:34 bottom left hand corner from range and then yeah crossing to the box which was scored by Oscar

01:41 Bob, the 91st minute winner for Manchester City. So a really tough one to take for Newcastle because

01:49 I think overall they probably deserved a point but really disappointing that they couldn't ask

01:55 more questions about Manchester City back then because in pointing that first half Newcastle

02:00 really opened that Manchester City defence and as I say were really good value for the lead but just

02:05 couldn't replicate that in the second half and have only slipped to a sixth defeat in seven

02:10 Premier League games. So the Premier League bad run continues but now have a winter break where

02:17 it doesn't get any easier to go a big FA Cup game against Fulham and Aston Villa away in the next

02:22 in the next league game.
