Of a truth Newcastle was also very competitive against Manchester city but they overlapped too much hence making it very easy for Manchester city to penetrate their defense and score. One tactics any club can use for Manchester city is if the club it at advantage of leading Manchester city, all the players needs is to protect their defense rather than attacking Manchester city because if city finds it difficult to evade their defense then they would find it difficult to score goals. Kelvin De Bryune also made I huge impact in this win for Manchester city and he definitely deserves kudos!.

You're right on saying that Manchester city would have had an easy way if Erling Haaland was featured but however Kelvin De Bryune delivered for City in Erling Haaland's absence. Kelvin De Bryune and Erling Haaland shouldn't be out of play together in any Manchester city's match if not their both absence would really affect City.
