THE NOTEBOOK: Newcastle's dire record against Man City rolls on, Pep Guardiola rolls the dice with a fresh formation, and Kalvin Phillips misses the chance to show off in front of his potential suitors

Manchester City swiped victory at the last at St James' Park with a breathless 3-2 win against Newcastle on Saturday afternoon.

Pep Guardiola's champions were put to the test early on, losing Ederson within the first 10 minutes to injury, and then conceding two quick goals before the break to lose their slim lead.

But the introduction of Kevin De Bruyne, just back from injury, proved a game-changer, with the Belgian talisman scoring within four minutes of substitution.

The midfielder later provided an assist for Oscar Bobb's winner - his first in the Premier League - to clinch the win.
