With a 1-0 victory over Newcastle at home, City maintained their unblemished home record in the Premier League. Julian Alvarez’s goal in the first half was the deciding factor.
The better team from the beginning was Pep Guardiola’s, and they received just compensation after 30 minutes when Julian Alvarez scored with a spectacular strike into the top corner.
Midway through the second half, Haaland had another wonderful opportunity to extend City’s lead, but the top scorer from the previous campaign missed both shots.
In the end, Newcastle found it difficult to get back into the game as City skillfully saw it out, extending the Magpies’ unfavorable track record at Etihad Stadium.
