"YOU ARE SPECIAL": PEP REVEALS WHAT HE TOLD WINNING STAR GUIMARãES
Harvey Barnes' double fired Newcastle United to a thrilling 2-1 victory over Manchester City at St James' Park. The win ends a poor run for the Magpies and deals a blow to City's title hopes.
Harvey Barnes's brace secured a 2-1 victory for Newcastle United over Manchester City at their home ground, St. James’ Park.
Following a 2-1 triumph against Manchester City, a team contending for the title, Newcastle United got back on the winning track in the Premier League.
Before this game, Eddie Howe’s team had suffered consecutive away losses to West Ham United and Brentford, which had them sitting just above the relegation zone in the Premier League.
However, the Magpies delivered a perfect response to claim only their second Premier League victory over Man City in the past two decades.
Harvey Barnes scored twice, initially breaking the deadlock in the 63rd minute and then restoring Newcastle’s lead just two minutes after Ruben Dias had levelled the score for the visiting side.
In the build-up to Barnes’s decisive goal, Bruno Guimaraes directed a header onto the crossbar, and the winger was well-positioned to convert the rebound. VAR conducted a review for a potential offside involving Guimaraes, but after a prolonged examination, the goal was deemed legitimate.
City’s goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnarumma, also believed he was fouled during the play, but the goal was allowed to stand.
Pep Guardiola Discloses What He Said to Bruno Guimaraes After the Final Whistle
However, Guardiola’s conversation with the Brazilian was not related to his footballing skills but rather to the incident involving Donnarumma during the second goal.
Guardiola stated, “Yes, I inquired about what occurred between Gigi and him. And yes, everything is alright.”
"This occurred in the match against Bournemouth, and it happened again today," Guardiola added. “It is what it is after VAR made its decision. They are fully aware."
Reflecting on the game's outcome, Guardiola commented, "Newcastle is a high-quality team, with excellent players and a top manager, so unfortunately, we couldn't sustain the momentum we had tonight. It was a captivating game, with opportunities for both sides, but the momentum shifted, and in the end, we couldn't secure the win.
"Both goalkeepers performed well, and we missed chances after that. It was an engaging game with many scoring opportunities. We were closer to winning in the initial stages. "
Eddie Howe Shares His Thoughts on Newcastle United’s Victory Over Man City
Howe commented, “We are thrilled with today’s win. When you compare the heart, effort, and attitude we showed today to our performance against Brentford, where we appeared tired and uninspired, it represents a significant improvement in how we typically play. This will provide us with a substantial boost during what will be a challenging Premier League season this year. This should provide us with a boost for the upcoming games.
"Regardless of your chosen strategy, Manchester City will create opportunities. Within the first 30 seconds, Harvey had a chance to score, highlighting the precarious situation we faced at times today. It is difficult to keep Haaland quiet for the entire 98 minutes. "
EXPERT ANALYSIS: EDDIE HOWE IDENTIFIES "CONFIDENCE" AS THE KEY TO FIXING NEWCASTLE’S AWAY FORM
Despite a nervy second half, Eddie Howe’s side clinched their second away win of the season. Read the full Turf Moor match report.
Eddie Howe’s team barely scraped by Burnley, grabbing only their second Premier League away win this season.
The Magpies jumped ahead quickly with a goal from Joelinton at Turf Moor. Soon after, Yoane Wissa, in his debut Premier League start for the club, made it 2-0. Josh Laurent then scored an awesome volley, cutting the lead in half. Newcastle clung to their lead until Bruno Guimaraes scored a third goal during stoppage time.
It wasn't a pretty game for Newcastle United on that cold night in Lancashire. They needed those three points, especially after that tough loss to Manchester United at Old Trafford on Friday.
This win nudged Howe’s team into the top half of the Premier League, with Crystal Palace and Leeds United up next. But, let's be real, their play didn't exactly inspire confidence that they've turned things around away from home.
Eddie Howe shared his thoughts on Newcastle United’s win over Burnley. What’s the answer to their away game struggles? Howe thinks it boils down to ‘confidence.’
“I think we've been close before. I feel we're headed in the right direction when you look at how we’re playing, Howe said as he talked about his team’s showing.
“If you keep playing well, you’ll win. Manchester United is a good example. I don’t think we played badly, and we had chances to get more from the game. We didn't score, but we played well overall.
“I think we will win games because of the kind of play that we have, and that’s what happened. We're not feeling super confident right now, which is clear.
“But, I think it’s mostly a confidence thing. And the only way to fix that is to win the next game.”
Howe said this: “It was a huge win for us. I don't think it matters how we got it. We just needed to get it.
“We started really strong, knowing how crucial this game was. I can’t say enough about how the players fought through it.
“That second half was significant for us. We had to make it.
“I give the players credit for finishing the game and showing the team's character.”
Newcastle United now has a few days to chill after the win at Turf Moor before heading back to Tyneside for four home games in a row. First up is Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday. After that, they’re up against Daniel Farke’s Leeds United at St. James’ Park on Wednesday, January 7.
Then, they’ve got two cup games against Premier League teams. They’re hosting Bournemouth in the FA Cup and then playing the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final against Manchester City.
EDDIE HOWE ADDRESSES ALAN SHEARER’S COMMENTS BEFORE TONIGHT’S MAJOR KICKOFF AT BURNLEY
Alan Shearer sets a massive challenge for Newcastle United: win the next four games to ignite their 2026 Premier League campaign.
Before tonight's game against Burnley, Alan Shearer told Newcastle United what he wants to see in the next month.
Newcastle is currently 14th in the Premier League, which isn't good enough, but there's still a lot of the season left.
Even though Eddie Howe isn't in danger of losing his job, people are still worried about how the team is playing.
Another loss at Burnley on Tuesday would really increase the pressure. Alan Shearer thinks this game could be the start of something better.
Newcastle United Needs to Win Their Next Four Games
On Match of the Day, the Newcastle United legend sounded positive about the team's next few games and & thinks this could turn their season around.
He said, Yes, this could change things. A few weeks ago, everyone thought Fulham would get demoted, but they've won three straight games, and & now they're in the top half.
Newcastle needs to do that. Their next four games are against Burnley, Palace, Leeds, and Wolves. They have a good chance to win some.
These four league games are part of a busy January for Newcastle, with important Champions League matches against PSV Eindhoven and PSG and an FA Cup game against Bournemouth, as well as the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final versus Man City.
This period of games could really make or break Newcastle's season.
He should stay until the end of the season so everyone can make a better decision instead of rushing into anything. Hopefully, there will be more choices to replace him by the summer.
Where Newcastle Could Be If They Win
Let's say Newcastle wins all four of their games. It might happen, but those 12 points might just push Newcastle to just outside the top five or six in the league.
Aston Villa could get no points during that time and still be ahead of Newcastle before they play each other at the end of January. That shows how far apart Newcastle and Aston Villa are this season.
Still, getting to 35 points before the end of next month would really help Newcastle. The teams above them will probably also get points, so Newcastle might not move up the table much, but it's important for them to catch up to their rivals soon.
