Man City draw with Newcastle in first game without Rodri

Manchester City were held to a second consecutive draw in the Premier League after Newcastle United earned a point against the reigning champions at St. James' Park on Saturday.

In a scrappy affair in which eight yellow cards were handed out, City took the lead after 35 minutes when winger Jack Grealish found Josko Gvardiol with a pass and the full back skilfully turned Dan Burn before firing in at the bottom corner.

Newcastle struck back in the 58th minute when Anthony Gordon went one-on-one with City goalkeeper Ederson, who conceded a penalty by tripping the forward. The England international scored from the spot to level the game at 1-1.

City remain top of the table with 14 points from six…
