Manchester City v Newcastle United: Premier League result as Marmoush hat-trick puts Pep's side back into top four

That is all from the Etihad this afternoon after a fantastic Man City performance against Newcastle.

You can follow live updates from this evening's football here.

Manchester City bounced back from recent defeats to Arsenal and Real Madrid with a comprehensive 4-0 victory over Newcastle at Etihad Stadium thanks to a first career hat-trick from Omar Marmoush.

Pep Guardiola’s side have now moved back into the top four, following Chelsea’s defeat to Brighton last night.

City’s new recruit struck his first Premier League goal after 19 minutes, before adding two more inside the first 34 minutes to take home the match ball.

The first goal came from Ederson’s excellent long ball, with Marmoush beating Kieran Trippier before lobbing the ball over the helpless Martin Dubravka.

City’s goalkeeper now has the most assists of any goalkeeper in Premier League history with six.

Ilkay Gundogan set up Marmoush for his second after 24 minutes, before the Egypt star latched on to Savinho’s cross to make it three just eleven minutes later and put City out of sight in the first half.

Newcastle struggled to create much during the second half and substitute James McAtee completed the rout late on, turning home Erling Haaland’s header from a corner.

The Norwegian star did limp off with a knee injury late on, but Guardiola will be hoping it is not serious with a huge run of games coming up.

City have now scored in 33 consecutive games against Newcastle, as the Geordies’ dismal record at the Etihad continued.

Eddie Howe's side drop down to seventh following their second consecutive league defeat.

The reigning Premier League champions now face Real Madrid on Wednesday in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League play-off, whilst Newcastle host Nottingham Forest next weekend.

Manchester City have now moved back into the top four after a 4-0 victory over Newcastle, overtaking Chelsea by one point.

Pep Guardiola’s side suffered a damaging 5-1 defeat to Arsenal last time out in the league but bounced back in brilliant fashion to secure an important three points.

The reigning champions blew Newcastle away during the first half, as Omar Marmoush struck his first career hat-trick inside the opening 34 minutes.

The hosts kept just their second clean sheet this year and their first in six matches, which will please Guardiola as defending has been a major problem for his side this campaign.

City now face Liverpool at the Etihad in their next Premier League game, so it was vital they won this afternoon to ensure they go into that huge clash with some confidence.

With the title almost certainly out of reach for Guardiola’s side, it is imperative they finish in the top four and guarantee their place in the UEFA Champions League next season.

The whistle has blown for the end of the match, and it is a brilliant victory for Man City thanks to a Marmoush hat-trick and a late McAtee strike.

Krafth comes on to replace the anonymous Isak.

Haaland looks like he has jarred his knee and goes down in some discomfort.

He manages to walk off the pitch and doesn't look in too much pain. He is replaced by Nico O'Reilly.

Mateo Kovacic replaces Gundogan and Gvardiol is replaced by Matheus Nunes.

Pep will be hoping it's nothing serious for Haaland...

Goal! City have four and it's McAtee who scores! Haaland flicks on the ball from a corner and the City midfielder is there to tap it home.

That's five goals in McAtee's last seven games.

What an afternoon for City.

The ball falls to Savinho in space on the edge of the box, but his strike is blocked and goes out for a corner.

Nico Gonzalez has been fantastic on his Premier League debut, filling a Rodri sized hole in City's midfield brilliantly.

Newcastle have one of the strongest midfield's in the league, but the January signing has made things look easy out there this afternoon.

Hat-trick hero Marmoush is replaced by Jeremy Doku.

James McAtee replaces Foden.

Gordon and Bruno are replaced by Sean Longstaff and Callum Wilson.

It seems that Howe has accepted defeat this afternoon and wants to protect his star players.

City are just keeping the ball away from Newcastle, as they look to see the game out.

The second half has been played at a much slower pace than the first and it seems to be by City's design.

Despite Newcastle's improved performance at the start of the second half, Isak is still yet to really make an impact.

The Swedish star has become very isolated at the top of the pitch and hasn't been given a sniff by Khusanov and John Stones.

What a chance that was for Miley! Hall finds the midfielder in loads of space in the box, but his shot is straight at Ederson, who bats the ball away.

That was better from Newcastle.

Haaland steals the ball off Burn in the penalty area and feeds Savinho on the edge of the box, but the Brazilian's strike is straight at Dubravka.

The visitors have been better during the opening moments of the first half as they look for a way back into the game.

They force consecutive corners, but nothing comes from them.
