Kevin De Bruyne once again showed his magic in his second game back from injury as Newcastle United came from behind in their clash with Manchester City. The Belgian maestro changed the narrative of the game as he guided City to a 3-2 win in the Premier League on Saturday night.

Newcastle United had their first chance to take the lead in the second minute of the match, but a goal was disallowed due to an offside call. However, City goalkeeper Ederson suffered an injury making the save, resulting in German goalkeeper Stefan Ortega replacing him in the sixth minute.

Newcastle equalized 1-1 in the 35th minute. Alexander Isak expertly exploited City's defensive frailty, capitalizing on the counter-attack to equalize for the home side. Despite their efforts, Newcastle were unable to capitalise, and the first half ended in a 1–1 draw.

Back on the pitch in the second half, both teams continued their attacking tactics. However, City took the lead again in the 74th minute, as Julian Alvarez found the target with a good shot from outside the box, making it 2-1.

Newcastle quickly responded, equalizing once more in the 76th minute. A dynamic run and a precise finish from Fabian Schar helped Newcastle to a 2-2 draw. The match was intense, with both teams pushing for a decisive goal.

In the 90th minute, City's persistence paid off as Kevin De Bruyne showed his brilliance. A brilliant dribble outside the box allowed De Bruyne to find Oscar Bob, who darted past the defenders and scored the winning goal for City.

Despite Newcastle's attacking play, they could not secure an equaliser, and the match ended with a 3–2 win for Manchester City.
