In a game that saw several twists and turns, Manchester City secured a victory despite falling behind by a goal in the first half, with Newcastle scoring twice in just over two minutes. The turnaround was largely credited to the Belgian maestro, who contributed a remarkable long-range equalizer and provided an astonishing assist to Oscar Bobb in the game’s 92nd minute. Haaland celebrated the win on Instagram, proudly displaying his post-match drink with the caption “need a shot after that!”
Kevin De Bruyne, making only his second appearance since returning from injury, swiftly underscored his significance to the team. Meanwhile, Haaland, dealing with a foot problem, continues to be sidelined due to a setback in his expected return this week, forcing him to miss several more games for Pep Guardiola’s side.
Opta reports that De Bruyne has become just the second Manchester City player, following Sergio Aguero against Cardiff in 2014, to both score and assist in a Premier League match as a substitute.
With nearly two weeks before their next fixture on January 26 against Tottenham Hotspur in the fourth round of the FA Cup, De Bruyne will have ample time to recover.
