Manchester City eased past Newcastle at the Etihad Stadium to keep the pressure on Premier League leaders Arsenal as the title race intensifies. WATCH FULL MATCH REPLAY Pep Guardiola’s side were hungry and sharp throughout as Phil Foden struck in the first half and Bernardo Silva jumped off the bench to add another in the second.
Newcastle had big chances in either half but Eddie Howe’s side have now won just once in their last eight Premier League games and and they’ve scored just three goals in that run.
With the win Man City move on to 58 points, while Newcastle remain on 41 points. This game summed up where Newcastle and Manchester City are both at right now.
Newcastle have run out of steam — and most importantly goals — at a key part of the season while Man City are just cranking things up a few notches as they love to do in the spring.
