Newcastle United pulled off a fantastic 2-1 win at St. James’ Park against Manchester City on Tuesday night.
City opened the scoring with an early Aguero strike in the very first minute but perhaps it just wasn’t meant to be for Pep Guardiola’s side as Salomon Rondon equalised in the 66th minute and Matt Ritchie scored a penalty in the 80th minute to seal three important points for the Magpies.
After a dismal start to the season where it took Newcastle 11 matches to register their first win, the Magpies seem to have found a semblance of coordination amongst themselves after executing back-to-back victories in the Premier League.
While social media warriors went online to discuss and debate the intricacies of the exciting clash after full-time, one video has grabbed quite a bit of attention.
