‘Everyone has the quality to score’ – Mahrez on Manchester City’s hammering of Newcastle United

Riyad Mahrez has proclaimed that every Manchester City player has to quality to score after they ran out 5-0 winners over Newcastle United at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday evening.

The Citizens headed into the tie on the back of a disappointing 1-0 loss at Southampton having previously seen off newly-crowned league champions Liverpool 4-0.

The rout started in the 10th minute with Gabriel Jesus followed by Mahrez who was assisted by Kevin De Bruyne, the Belgian providing his 18th assist of the season which is the most of any player in Premier League history and also equalling the same tally he set in 2016-17.
