Ilkay Gundogan
Since the start of the 2020-21 season, no Manchester City player has scored more Premier League goals than Ilkay Gundogan (23)

In a match that featured six goals and an overturned red card, English champion Manchester City produced a brilliant fightback as they came from behind to draw atNewcastle.

City scored two goals within four minutes of each other to preserve their perfect start to the season.

City took a fifth-minute lead as Ilkay Gundogan was able to take a touch after Silva's pass and score.

The England goalkeeper made a number of saves before the hosts tied the game with a goal that was given after a video assistant review overruled a decision to not award a penalty.

The excellent Saint-Maximin ran at the City defence before finding Callum Wilson, who took a touch to create space and shoot.

The visitors had a chance to equalise but Pope pushed Haaland's effort on to the post and then Trippier grabbed a third with a stunning 25-yard free- kick.

After Rodri's pass, Haaland scored from inside the six-yard box, before Silva tied it up.

Trippier was shown a red card by the referee for a knee-high tackle on De Bruyne. After watching the incident again on a pitchside monitor, referee Jarred Gillett upgraded it to a yellow and both teams ended with a point.

Almiron jibe comes back to hurt Man City

City started the weekend in top spot and knew a two- goal victory would take them back there.

After only five minutes, Gundogan scored the first goal of the season for the visitors.

The lead should have been extended by City. As the visitors piled on the pressure, Pope saved with his legs to deny Haaland and Phil Foden.

Wilson was unable to convert a chance as he lost his balance after Saint-Maximin's effort was parried by Ederson, while Saint-Maximin had an effort saved by Ederson.

In the 28th minute, Saint-Maximin crossed from the left and Almiron flung himself at the ball, which bounced off his thigh and into the net, to give it a 2-2 tie.

Almiron celebrated his first goal of the season after it was shown that Joao Cancelo and Kyle Walker played him onside.

Miguel Almiron
Miguel Almiron's goal was his first for Newcastle this season

He was mocked by City's Jack Grealish when he was absent at St James' Park after picking up a knock.

During City's title celebrations in May, the England forward joked that he had played like Almiron and silenced his critic in the best way possible.

Wilson produced an excellent first touch to evade both Ruben Dias and John Stones and put his side in front before the break.

Trippier's excellent free-kick gave Spurs a 2-0 lead over City, who had not lost an away league game since August of 2021.

Newcastle unable to hold on to two-goal lead

The home fans were ecstatic at their side's advantage and City showed why they have been English champion in four of the last five seasons.

Haaland was criticized after only having eight touches in the win over Bournemouth.

But the Norway forward grabbed his third league goal of the season with a finish from close range, quickly converting Rodri's assist.

Silva calmly finished from De Bruyne's pass to leave it at 3-3 with 26 minutes to go and set up a thrilling finale in which Trippier thought he had been dismissed.

Neither side could find a winner as a frantic afternoon ended in a draw with both teams maintaining their perfect league starts.
