Manchester City 5-0 Newcastle United: Guardiola's men bounce back from demoralising Loss at Southampton

-
The Citizens bounced back from their loss to the Saints at the weekend with a routine 5-0 win against Newcastle United.

City's loss against Southampton was their 9th loss of the season and it left them 23 points behind champions Liverpool.

City took the lead in the 10th minute, as Jesus finished from Silva's cut back after some poor marking from the Magpies.

The visitors couldn't handle city's high pressure and they lost the ball 35 yards out,with De Bruyne finding Mahrez who duely netted his 10th goal of the Premier League season.

The goal meant that City became the first team to have five players hit 10 goals or more in a single Premier League season.

Foden missed a gloriois chance to score after the break but City's third goal came when Matt Richie kick the ball off Fernandez while trying to stop Jesus.

Silva got a well deserved goal as he netted a precise free kick from 25 yards out, before the Spaniard's set up Raheem Sterling for their fifth after intercepting a pass.


What does it mean? City consolidate second... and wonder why

City's latest goalscoring record 
took them to 86 league goals this season, but did little more than make finishing second almost certain.

It was a first league loss for Steve Bruce's men since February 22, keeping them six points outside of the top eight but importantly 16 points above the drop zone.

Silva still shining as City clock winds down

Silva reached 10 assists in all competitions and scored a sublime goal to cap a very creative performance. Surprisingly,it was the first time that he had scored and set up a goal in a league match since January 2016.

He has just two more home league games to come as a City player. It is a shame that they will be held without the crowd ovation he deserves.

What's next?

City head to the Amex Stadium next to face Brighton and Hove Albion,while Newcastle face Watford on the same day.

Bournemouth 0-2 Southampton:Danny Ings score as the loss leaves Cherries on the brink of relegation

Danny Ings scored his 21st Premier League goal of the season as Southampton defeated Bournemouth 2-0 at the Vitality Stadium.  Ings scored with a good finish in tge 41st minute as he put glitters to sweeping Saints counter attack.  He had a chance to double his side's lead, but he sent a tame shot that was saved by Aaron Ramsdale, after Harry Wilson handled in the box. Bournemouth thought they had equalised through Sam Surridge, only for VAR to judge that Callum Wilson was in an offside position whilst also interfering with play, before Substitute Che Adams hit the final nail in the coffin to almost certainly dash Bournemouth's hopes of staying up. Eddie Howe's men are three points from safety with a trip to Everton still to come. Survival on goal difference is the best they can hope for, as 17th placed Watford will condemn the Cherries to the 2nd division for next season, if and only if they can claim a point from one of their last two games with matches agains...

Chelsea have confirmed that they will play in Champions League next season as goals from Mason Mount and Olivier Giroud sealed a 2-0 win on the final day of the Premier League season. Although the Blues had a sluggish start to the game, but two goals in first half stoppage time. First, through a brilliant Mason Mount free kick, before Giroud doubled the lead a short while later. Although the first half of the match was highly devoid of action until a wonderful Mason Mount free kick goal. While, Christian Pulisic and Mason Mount combined to set up Giroud, before he rounded Rui Patricio and held off Conor Coady before scoring into an empty net. Diogo Jota brought out a save from Willy Caballero just before the hour. But the Blues were hardly troubled as they held on to 4th position in the league in Lampard's first season in charge.
