Roughly half an hour into the second half, City managed to score their second goal to tie up the match, with only fifteen minutes remaining. Manchester City veteran, who is going on his ninth year with the club, Kevin De Bruyne, scored the equalizer.

At this point, it truly is anyone’s game. The next team to score is surely going to come out with the win.

During the 90th and final minute of playing time, 20 year old, Oscar Bobb scores the game winning goal after receiving the ball in the air from a pass that came from the center of the field.

It quickly became a one on one versus the goalkeeper, but Bobb made sure to net the third goal to give Manchester the victory at the last whistle.

Final score was 3-2. Manchester City win. Newcastle defeat at home.
