For the second week in a row, Phil Foden shot rather than passing to Erling Haaland and Manchester City missed the opportunity to score a goal.
If there was little debate that Foden had shown a forward's greed against Bournemouth in choosing not to roll the ball sideways for the No.9 to score an easy goal, against Newcastle it was far less clear: the 22-year-old was running at full tilt and his sight to Haaland was blocked by the Newcastle defender that was trying to stop him getting there first.
That uncertainty has not stopped more piling on of Foden. with some convinced Pep Guardiola was fuming at him as a result just as others thought he was hooked at half-time last week because of it.
Foden's action last week received more attention than his goal or assist did, and his miss at Newcastle has prompted far more debate than Kevin De Bruyne's near-identical effort minutes earlier.
