Manchester City delivered a dominant 4-0 win over Newcastle United, with Omar Marmoush stealing the spotlight with a first-half hat-trick. However, the victory was marred by Erling Haaland’s late injury, which left Pep Guardiola with a major concern.
Marmoush was the star of the afternoon, dismantling Newcastle’s defense with three superb goals before halftime. Substitute James McAtee sealed the emphatic win with a close-range finish late in the game.
In a match reported by New York Times, stated that despite City’s defensive struggles in recent matches, they kept a clean sheet, adding to Newcastle’s miserable outing. The visitors made a defensive switch in the 90th minute, bringing on Emil Krafth for Alexander Isak to prevent further damage, but the game was already beyond reach.
As the Etihad Stadium announcer declared Marmoush the man of the match, the Egyptian forward clutched the match ball—one he had no intention of letting go.
City fans will celebrate a commanding victory, but all eyes will now be on Haaland’s fitness in the coming days.
