Welcome to LIVE coverage of Manchester City v Newcastle from the Etihad!

GOAL! De Bruyne with an exceptional finish from the Navas cross. A brilliant hooked finish, and that is suddenly a 4-1 lead. Four goals in seven minutes. City heading back to the top of the table.

Sergio Agüero ends his scoring drought after 497 minutes in the Premier League. Only once he had a longer goal drought in Premier League (565 minutes).

Aguero has scored three goals in eight minutes either side of the break. City well in control of this match.

GOAL! Aguero with a clinical finish from the De Bruyne pass through the middle. Newcastle defence all over the place. City lead 3-1.

GOAL! Aguero sees the ball comes off Gouffran before winding up in the corner of the net. Just what City needed. They lead 2-1.

Fernando races forward from the back. Fires a shot at goal, but the ball is blocked as it lands comfortably in the arms of Krul.

Zabaleta guilty of a foul on Coloccini in the Newcastle area. Free-kick to the visitors that they can knock long.

Change at the break for City with Raheem Sterling departing to be replaced by Jesus Navas for the home team. Injury to Sterling you would imagine.

Off we go then in the second half of this match.

Fernandinho with a late challenge on Perez. Sterling then tries to beat Janmaat for pace before being fouled out wide. A late chance for City in the half as Janmaat heads the Silva free-kick behind his own goal. And that is the last action of the half. 1-1 at the break.

We are into three minutes of time added on to this first half.

De Bruyne cuts inside Wijnaldum before knocking his shot a few yards wide of goal. Krul had that one covered.

Sergio Agüero scores his sixth Premier League goal against Newcastle, equalling Alan Shearer as the leading scorer in this fixture (home/away) in the Premier League.

GOAL! Aguero tucks away a header as Fernandinho heads back across goal from the Silva header for the Argentina forward to net. All too easy really for City. They are back at 1-1.

Game really beginning to open up out there as Joe Hart saves from the Gini Wijnaldum delivery. Newcastle want this to be tighter.
