Manchester City were held to a second straight draw in the Premier League after Newcastle United held the reigning champion to a 1-1 draw at St. James’ Park on Saturday.
In a scrappy affair where eight yellow cards were handed out, City took the lead 35 minutes in 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.

City stays provisionally top with 14 points from six games as it waits for Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal to play their games, while Newcastle is fifth with 11 points.
