Newcastle’s players finally fizzed with intent to thwart a Manchester City side who looked too measured and methodical without Rodri
Here, up against one of the best defences in Europe and just in the nick of time to ward off the latest set of searching questions for Howe, it felt like the spark had returned to one of their most important players.It was no surprise that it was the catalyst for Newcastle’s most encouraging performance of the campaign so far.
Gordon is the sort of player who feeds on emotion, so the pre-game unfurling of a giant flag replica of his shirt felt significant. His penalty equaliser, converted with aplomb after he drew Ederson into a panicked dive, was just reward for an afternoon spent scurrying, chasing lost causes and exerting pressure from the front. It also felt like a fresh start after Newcastle’s summer of uncertainty began to seep into the season.
