‘One of the toughest opponents’ – Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola heaps praise on Newcastle after 3-3 draw
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola lavished praise on Newcastle whilst also hailing his own side’s fighting spirit after the Citizens fought back from 3-1 down to earn a point at St James' Park. Ilkay Gundogan gave City a fifth-minute lead but Newcastle quickly regrouped and equalised when Allan Saint-Maximin’s cross was finished by Miguel Almiron. Ad Saint-Maximin was in inspired form and he was central to Newcastle taking the lead, setting up Callum Wilson for his 39th-minute strike.
