The Magpies have not splashed the cash of the Saudi sovereign wealth fund to the extent expected in the transfer window, but had the champions on the ropes through goals from Miguel Almiron, Callum Wilson and Kieran Trippier.
NEWCASTLE - Pep Guardiola said Newcastle are now one of the Premier League's toughest tests after Manchester City were forced to come from 3-1 down to salvage a 3-3 draw from an enthralling encounter on Sunday.City move up to second, two points adrift of Arsenal, but missed the chance to open up a seven-point advantage on Liverpool ahead of their trip to Manchester United on Monday."Newcastle are becoming one of the toughest opponents for sure," said Guardiola.
But Newcastle's intensity and energy soon swarmed over City with the pace of Allan Saint-Maximin causing havoc."We went 1-0 down which is the worst possible start against this team because then you have to chase the game but I think the players responded brilliantly. Saint-Maximin was the creator again as Newcastle turned the game around before half-time as Wilson latched onto his pass and prodded beyond Ederson.
Haaland's predatory instincts were on full show as he started the comeback by firing into the roof of the net when Rodri knocked a set-piece back across goal.
