And whether Manchester City are satisfied that Kevin De Bruyne is back from injury. Our compatriot started on the bench against Newcastle, but completely turned the game around after coming on as a substitute.

However, there seemed to be no problem for Manchester City – with Jérémy Doku in the starting line-up – in the opening phase. In the 26th minute, Kyle Walker served Bernardo Silva, who finished it off beautifully with a backheel: 0-1 for City. However, they could not enjoy the lead for long, because nine minutes later Alexander Isak was sent deep and the Swede finished coolly. St. James’ Park exploded, because two minutes later it was even 2-1 after a goal by Anthony Gordon.

Minutes ticked by and City just couldn’t score the equalizer. Newcastle already dreamed of a good three-pointer against the national champions, but that was without Kevin De Bruyne. De Bruyne was sent onto the pitch in the 69th minute to relieve Bernardo Silva and less than five minutes later it was already a prize. Rodri released De Bruyne, who placed the ball perfectly in the corner from sixteen meters: 2-2.

We seemed to be heading for a draw, until De Bruyne put Oscar Bobb, who had replaced Doku, in front of goal with a perfect pass in added time. He cleverly rounded the keeper and put the ball in the goal: 2-3 and the three points to Manchester. And whether City are happy that De Bruyne is back.
