Newcastle United ended their long wait for an away win in the Premier League with a stunning 4-1 victory against Everton at Hill Dickinson Stadium.m The match was a special one for Newcastle’s head coach Eddie Howe, who celebrated his 48th birthday in style. This was Newcastle’s first away win since April, ending a 236-day wait and came after recent defeats against Marseille, Brentford, and West Ham across all competitions.
On the other hand, Manchester City had to depend on a Phil Foden brace to down Leeds United 3-2. Pep Guardiola’s men took a 2-0 lead in the first half before Leeds managed to equalise in the 2nd half 2-2. Foden’s goal in injury-time saw the hosts win 3-2.
Match summary as Newcastle blow Everton away
Newcastle took the lead just 55 seconds into the match, with defender Malick Thiaw scoring his first goal for the club from a Lewis Miley corner. Despite Everton‘s initial response, they were unable to clear their lines after some pinball inside the box for Newcastle’s second goal. Jordan Pickford also failed to stop Miley’s effort despite it being hit straight at him. Nick Woltemade added a third before half-time, lobbing Pickford from inside the area after being set up by Anthony Elanga. Newcastle scored a fourth goal before the hour mark, with Thiaw heading in from Lewis Hall’s teasing cross. Everton managed to pull one back through Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who controlled James Tarkowski’s ball over the line before slotting past goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
Foden’s brace sees Manchester City win 3-2
England international Foden scored twice to inspire a superb 3-2 win for Manchester City over struggling Leeds that moves them to second in the Premier League table. In the 91st minute, Foden netted his second goal after Pep Guardiola’s side had earlier blown a two-goal lead. Man City’s advantage came 59 seconds into the match through Foden’s goal and extended when Josko Gvardiol converted from a corner. In the 2nd half, Dominic Calvert-Lewin pulled back a scrappy goal back before winning a penalty. It was dispatched at the second time of asking by Lukas Nmecha after Gianluigi Donnarumma kept out the initial attempt. However, Man City prevailed late on as Foden scored a clever stoppage-time winner.
