Facing Newcastle, Guardiola relied on striker Erling Haaland at the spearhead. However, Haaland was unable to do much to break the strong defense guarded by Kieran Tripper, Fabian Schar, Dan Burn, and Lewis Hall, as well as goalkeeper Nick Pope.

Haaland was unable to score a goal in that match. Man City’s only goal was scored by defender Josko Gvardiol in the 35th minute. The hosts’ goal was scored by Anthony Gordon via a penalty in the 58th minute.
