GOAL!!! NEWCASTLE LEAD AGAIN! Following the second of successive corners, Tonali's dangerous delivery is not fully cleared. Newcastle get the ball back into City's box, and Woltemade heads it across to Bruno Guimaraes. His close-range header then hits the bar, but Barnes pounces first to take one touch and steer home! It's now 2-1 to the Magpies!

GOAL!!! NEWCASTLE MAKE THE BREAKTHROUGH! St James' Park goes wild with delight, as the hosts go 1-0 in front! After receiving possession from his team-mate, a determined lunge by Bruno Guimaraes prods the ball back towards Barnes, who then shoots clinically into the bottom-left corner! It's an unerring strike from the edge of the box.
Newcastle United vs Manchester City
For just a second time in 36 Premier League meetings with Manchester City - and the first since 2019 - Newcastle United prevail, winning an eventful encounter 2-1 at St James' Park. Showing great character and grit, the Magpies made light of their dreadful league form to topple in-form City, thanks to a second-half brace by Barnes. His strikes arrived either side of a rapid Ruben Dias equaliser, as the goals finally started to flow after an inexplicably barren first half. Before the break, Woltemade, Haaland and Foden all missed gilt-edged chances - while two VAR checks decided against awarding penalties - and that all contributed to a significant xG: Newcastle finished with 2.24, while City produced 1.88 overall. At last, Howe ends his long wait for a win against City, and that should set his side up well for next week's Champions League trip to Marseille. Meanwhile, having failed to take second spot in the Premier League table, Guardiola's boys must go again on Tuesday, when they welcome Bayer Leverkusen to Manchester. That's all for today's live coverage, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!

Joelinton tugs back Savinho in midfield and accepts an inevitable yellow card. He had no intention of letting City spark a quick counter-attack.
