The young forward showcased his skills by gliding past two defenders from the right flank and unleashing a shot that deflected off Sven Botman and into the net after just 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/1582a5988c60442aba2bed7d65546ab0\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Despite a spirited response from Newcastle, City substitute Bernardo Silva put the game beyond doubt with a well-placed finish in the second half. The win keeps City within touching distance of Premier League leaders Arsenal, who were yet to play their match against Bournemouth.<\/p>\n<p>For Newcastle, it was a disappointing result as they looked to bounce back from their Carabao Cup final defeat. However, there were still positives to take from the game for Magpies boss Eddie Howe, whose team remains in fifth place, four points behind Tottenham.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/5e5ba2eb6f404323aea9e7927549d607\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Newcastle was dominating the game when Haaland provided a perfect pass to Silva on the edge of the box, who calmly slotted the ball home to double their lead to 2-0. Joelinton also came close to scoring, but was denied by the alertness of the City goalkeeper Ederson. Substitute Alexander Isak also had a good opportunity to score, but his attempt was thwarted by Ederson\u2019s quick reaction.<\/p>\n<p>Isak\u2019s performance was particularly noteworthy as he looked impressive whenever he had possession of the ball. His return to full fitness will undoubtedly boost Newcastle\u2019s morale, as they aim to revive their flagging season. Despite their promising display, the Magpies have only won one of their last eight league games, highlighting the need for improvement in the coming fixtures.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/0e962571bc4244b691e26a67547c9230\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Newcastle found themselves under pressure but had two excellent opportunities to score through Callum Wilson and Anthony Gordon. Gordon, who made his first start for the club since joining from Everton in January, was unable to capitalize on his chance.<\/p>\n<p>The second half was a scrappy affair, with both teams struggling to assert their dominance. However, the game turned in City\u2019s favor when substitute Bernardo Silva came on and scored a low shot into the corner just three minutes later.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/55acbf213219498ab24785de6096f62c\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2e161e9db8a64f39ac08d8b3c3cdb81d\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: Osho123 (via  Opera<br \/>News )<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
