This was, by some margin, the greatest sportswashing derby the Premier League has known. It may have sold its soul to nation states with questionable human rights records , but at least it seems to have got a good price for it. There was, needless to say, no reference from the home support to the case of the Leeds student Salma al-Shehab,for apparently supporting activists and dissidents on Twitter.
City, imperious in dismissing West Ham and Bournemouth, suddenly looked as anxious as they had in the final minutes of the Community Shield against Liverpool when Darwin Núñez briefly ran them ragged – which perhaps isn’t saying much more than that it’s difficult for defenders when big powerful forwards run at them. Two of those Saint‑Maximin incursions brought goals before half-time; a third led to the free‑kick from which Trippier whipped in Newcastle’s third.
