GOAL! Manchester City 2-0 Newcastle – Omar Marmoush
HE’S AT IT AGAIN!
Ilkay Gundogan carries the ball up the pitch and plays a lovely pass in behind for Omar Marmoush.
In the box, he manages to find space and pulls a clever finish into the near-post corner.
Martin Dubravka might feel he should have saved it, but it was an excellent finish.

AS EASY AS THAT!
Man City have the lead, and it’s Omar Marmoush with the goal.

The new Fellaini?
Arsenal midfielder Mikel Merino has never played as a striker before today, but he came off the bench to bag twice and seal an incredibly important three points.
Ethan Nwaneri also played brilliantly and grabbed an assist, while he hit the crossbar twice.
However, Dean Ashton thinks that Merino was Man of the Match.
Speaking on talkSPORT, he said: “It has to be Mikel Merino.
“Nwaneri had a very good game. He took the responsibility on his shoulders to try and push Arsenal forwards.
“But ultimately the game will be remembered for Merino and those two quality finishes. He was the difference.
Arsenal might just have found that answer to Kai Havertz’s injury.”
It was very much like when managers started playing Marouane Fellaini up front, and it’s something we could see a lot more of.
