Manchester City have dropped more points already in 2018-19 than they did all of last season after losing 2-1 to Newcastle on Tuesday.
Sergio Aguero scored in the first minute at St. James' Park, but second-half goals from Salomon Rondon and Matt Ritchie gave the struggling Magpies a shock win.
It was a damaging defeat for Pep Guardiola's side, who will be seven points back of table-topping Liverpool should Jurgen Klopp's men defeat Leicester City on Wednesday.
It also meant that City have dropped 16 points from their 24 Premier League games thus far in 2018-19, more than the 14 points they dropped in the entirety of 2017-18.
