Newcastle was like 1 goal down at halftime but then they totally turned it around! Harvey Barnes is on fire right now, I love how he's getting all the attention but actually Bernardo Silva should be getting some too, dude's always creating chances for his teammates 
. I mean, those Magpies have been through some tough times in the past and their fans were starting to lose hope, but it looks like they've turned things around under new management. Harvey Barnes is a genius on the field right now, two goals against one of the best teams in the league? That's clutch! 
i was worried man city would dominate but newcastle's defense held strong. and that strike by baines 
no u meant harvey barnes not baines lol! anywayz, man city's title hopes r still alive but this loss will hurt they need 2 bounce back ASAP 
️
I mean, can you believe it? Manchester City is human after all! 
. Meanwhile, Newcastle will be riding high on this momentum win - let's see if they can keep this up 
!
two goals in one match is insane! City had their chances but couldn't finish them off 
. This win is huge for Newcastle's title hopes and now they're gonna go all out for European qualification 
. Manchester City might have lost but I'm sure they'll bounce back strong 
i mean i dont really follow footy but my mate is and he was literally jumpin off the couch when newcastle won lol like what a shocker to the title faves 
it's like they knew they had a good chance all along. City's always been so clinical on offense but today they were just off 
and Newcastle capitalized on that. can't wait to see how this affects their season 
what a huge dent in their title hopes tho! barnes is a beast, 2 goals? who knew? 
newcastle's been on fire lately, this is like the wake up call they needed 
Can you believe it?! Newcastle just gave one of the top teams in the league a run for their money and came out on top! Harvey Barnes is a total boss 
. This win for Newcastle is huge, not just because of the points, but also because it shows they're capable of beating anyone on their day 
I was watching with my friends online and we were all going wild when he scored that second goal. The way City struggled to score is pretty crazy too... Manchester City are supposed to be one of the best teams in the league and they got outplayed by Newcastle? That's some serious talk for the title contenders! 
Now I'm hyped for the rest of the season, who knows what other surprises are in store for us?! 
harvey barnes is a beast, two goals in one match? impressive 
can't wait to see how they bounce back from this. Newcastle's resurgence is amazing, they've got everyone hyped now
