Just 1 goal, missed a lot of chances, but the win is a win. Winning a goal was enough to remain calm at the top of the standings. And as great as any Manchester City, they remain a football club, which will not be consistent at all times. Lucky for them still can win when they get a lot of misfortune in one game.
first of all newcastle is defending like crazy, it seems their motivation for the game is to get a draw from manchester city. I can totally see that with their strategy defending with 10 people in their own half
Secondly, manchester city did have alot of chances but they are up against a fully defending team newcastle city which also known as the team that has solid defence so it is kinda reasonable that they win with only 1 goal
Based on Man.City latest performances where they have scored at least 2 goals in a game, and usually 4 or more I think that many people who bet on goals lost their bets and I was surprised too to see that result. I was thinking a 1-4 win for Man.City but I understand that the Premier league is long and they are having a look at the Champions too this year so they need sometime to relax and not push to 100% when they got the result they wanted, the 3 points.
