Phil Foden produced a midfield masterclass as Manchester City made light of their injury problems and any fatigue from facing Sevilla in Greece on Wednesday night.
Foden set up the winning goal for Julian Alvarez as the champions maintained their 100 per cent start to the season against a Newcastle side with title ambitions of their own.
The England star was unplayable at times with the kind of performance that will give Pep Guardiola hope City can cope without Kevin de Bruyne following hamstring surgery that will keep him out until December.
