In a stunning display of skill and impact, Kevin De Bruyne, back from a five-month injury, orchestrated Manchester City’s comeback against Newcastle, securing a thrilling 3-2 victory. Coming on as a 69th-minute substitute for Bernardo Silva, De Bruyne wasted no time making his presence felt. The Belgian maestro, who hadn’t played since December 6, immediately leveled the score with a composed goal, effortlessly guiding the ball into the bottom left corner.

In a breathtaking turn of events, just seconds into stoppage time, De Bruyne delivered a remarkable right-footed pass over the home defense, setting up fellow substitute Oscar Bobb for the winning goal. Pep Guardiola and his staff celebrated wildly, contrasting with the shell-shocked Newcastle players who couldn’t believe De Bruyne’s immediate impact. Despite a terrific game that saw Newcastle leading with goals from Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon, City’s comeback, orchestrated by De Bruyne, dashed the home side’s hopes.

The victory propels City into a reasonable position to challenge leaders Liverpool, indicating that despite some players not being at their best, Guardiola’s team is gearing up for a title race. De Bruyne’s return, marked by a goal and a stunning assist, leaves the rest of the Premier League wary, knowing that the Belgian playmaker is only just getting started.

Here is the highlight video of Newcastle United vs. Manchester City, which ended with a 2-3 victory for Manchester City.
