Manchester City earned a huge victory in an important fixture this past Saturday, showing their strength in the English Premier League with a dominant 2-0 win over Newcastle United. Despite Newcastle's traditionally disciplined defensive game and their standing as the team with the league's fewest goals allowed (15), Manchester City powerfully asserted their victory with a couple of ethical calls by Pep Guardiola. Guardiola's decision to start Phil Foden over Riyad Mahrez in the right wing was rewarded with Foden scoring the team's first goal in the 15th minute on a deflected shot past Newcastle's keeper. The crucial second goal was scored shortly after Guardiola made the shrewd move to sub off the underwhelming Kevin De Bruyne in the 64th minute, with Bernardo Silva issued onto the field, who then quickly scored with one of his first touches on a flick from Erling Haaland.

With this victory, Manchester City stays close
