LONDON: Defending champions Manchester City overcame Newcastle United 1-0 in their second match of Premier League.
Julian Alvarez’s brilliant first-half strike proved enough to maintain City’s winning start to League.
Phil Foden provided the creative sparkle for City in the absence of Kevin de Bruyne, who faces up to six months out after hamstring surgery this week.
The England playmaker set up Alvarez’s goal and created more chances after the break, with Erling Haaland wasting the best of them when he fired wide.
