How Newcastle’s season took off and left Pep in a rage
By Mark Douglas, i‘s northern football correspondent
So Pep Guardiola’s pre-match air rage turned out to be prophetic.
The Manchester City coach was apopletic beforehand that his Treble winners could not charter a jet back from the North-East on Wednesday night and his mood will only have darkened on that long coach ride home as Newcastle United’s season achieved lift-off on an electric evening.
Guardiola’s City have been so superlative for so long that Newcastle’s win – the result of a scintilating second half display – feels like an upset. In truth it felt more like the Magpies shaking off their sky blue inferiority complex as they inflicted City’s first defeat of the campaign.
This was Eddie Howe’s first victory over a Guardiola side and a triumph for a half-time recalibration that has the locals dreaming of a return to Wembley. A first win over City feels like a significant statement.
For 45 minutes, you would have got long odds on that outcome. Newcastle’s mantra under Howe is that intensity is their identity but they were far too passive in the first half to disrupt the easy rhythm of Guardiola’s sky blue machine.
The Spaniard had complained bitterly about injuries but then rolled out an XI full of heavyweights to jab away at a Newcastle team that included 17-year-old debutant Lewis Miley and Paul Dummett, whose last first team action was in this competition 13 months ago. The second team Guardiola had promised to pick here would have been a match for almost any side in Europe, and they made life uncomfortable for Newcastle.
Their control was total, beavering away with the intelligence that had been the hallmark of Guardiola’s Treble winners. Newcastle seemed mesmerised and it was a difficult night for their youngest charges. Much is expected of Miley and fellow black and white debutant Lewis Hall but neither was able to assert themselves, the latter’s night typified by a back pass under pressure that ballooned into the Gallowgate end.
It was only City’s profligacy that ensured this remained a contest. Oscar Bobb teed up Julian Alvarez but he was unable to beat Nick Pope. Jack Grealish briefly threatened to spring Newcastle’s deep-lying defence only for Dummett to roll back the years with a crunching tackle.
It looked unsustainable for the home side and to Howe’s credit he rectified his selection mis-steps by calling for Bruno Guimaraes and Anthony Gordon for the second half. Miley and Hall made way and the injection of experience added impetus.
ALEXANDER ISAK!

Gordon is enjoying a purple patch that has alerted Gareth Southgate and an England call-up is surely in the post next week. He was the man who set the wheels in motion for Sunday’s Bramall Lane blitzing and it was his crunching tackle on Sergio Gomez that turned this game.
It sent a surge of electricity through St James’ Park that the players fed off. The returning, outstanding Joelinton burst through to tee up Alexander Isak for a simple finish.
After Newcastle’s early season wobbles, it feels like they have reasserted themselves as a force.
