Newcastle 2-1 Man City: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Magpies Secure Shock Win Over Champions

Newcastle United secured a shock 2-1 win at home to Manchester City on Tuesday night to move five points clear of the relegation zone.

Second-half goals from Salomon Rondon and Matt Ritchie ensured the Magpies their first win against the Citizens since, despite going a goal down after only 24 seconds through Sergio Aguero.

The home fans had barely settled into their seats before they were behind, Aguero scoring the quickest goal in the Premier League so far this season when he fired home with less than a minute on the clock.

Aguero then had a second goal controversially ruled out after 17 minutes.
