Manchester City had to fight back to hold Newcastle United to a 3-3 draw at St. James’ Park in Sunday’s Premier League game.
Man City went into the game hoping to make it three wins from three games played but dropped their first point of the season.
The draw means they are in second place on seven points while Newcastle are sixth on five points.
Pep Guardiola’s side took the lead on five minutes. Bernardo Silva created room for himself on the right and curled a ball into Ilkay Gundogan in the box, who had time to take a touch and slotted into the net.
Newcastle equalized in the 28th minute as Miguel Almiron tucked in Allan Saint-Maximin’s cross after brilliant work from the Frenchman.
The goal was initially disallowed, but after consulting the VAR, referee Jarred Gillett gave the goal because an offside was incorrectly flagged.
