Manchester City were very strong in attack at the start, and they played well, but in the second half their performance was not that strong. However, Newcastle were at their best after half-time and attacked brilliantly, their frenetic attack was successful, leading to a 1-1 draw at the last minute.
Manchester City tried hard until the last minute to score another goal and win, but they couldn't succeed, instead the two teams shared the points at the last minute as the two teams battled for screens.
Honestly, I personally didn't expect Manchester City to be held to a draw by Newcastle in this match. The reason is, from the start of the first half, Halland and his friends played quite impressively. It was proven that in the 35th minute, Gvardiol was able to score a goal against Newcastle. After this goal, I personally hoped that Manchester City would score again in the second half, but in reality Manchester City lost concentration and Newcastle managed to equalize in the 58th minute from the penalty spot. Even after the draw, I personally am still quite optimistic that Manchester City can definitely win this match. But unfortunately, until the referee blew the whistle to signal the end of the match, the score was still tied. So Manchester City must accept this draw and maybe with this draw Manchester City's position at the top of the Premier League standings will be slightly threatened. The reason is that currently Liverpool, which is in 2nd place in the Premier League, is only 2 points different from Manchester City. So, if for example Liverpool can win the match against Wolves, then it is certain that Manchester City's position will be shifted by Liverpool. And my prediction is that Liverpool can definitely win easily against Wolves. Because it is clear that Liverpool's performance with Wolves is very different. So with this, it is certain that Manchester City will be shifted from the top position in the English league standings.

I agree, the draw between Manchester City and Newcastle certainly came as a surprise. Despite Manchester City's dominance in the first half, they were unable to maintain the pressure throughout the second half which allowed Newcastle to equalize. This result does pose potential concerns for Manchester City's position at the top of the Premier League.

Your point about Liverpool potentially shifting Manchester City's position by winning against Wolves is plausible. Currently, Liverpool's form is impressive and they seem to have the upper hand against the Wolves.
