Newcastle tried to fans, but can not make a great heroic step towards salvation. In the postponed match from the 27th round of Premier league "Magpies" came only to 1: 1 against semi-finalists in the Champions League Manchester City. Boys of Rafael Benitez tried everything and in the end were not very far to steal valuable victory, but it would be illogical in view of the superiority of "blue sky".
The match starts at high speed under the roar of the stands, as at the outset visitors created a big stir in front of Karl Darlow and Newcastle responded with a shot failed header by Papiss Cissé.
Gradually, however, the players Manuel Pellegrini imposed substantial pressure which helped them to discover the outcome. In the 14th minute "citizens" came to a foul on the left in attack but Aleksandar Kolarov sent to the near post. There the Judge somehow slept through that Sergio Aguero was at least a meter offside and this allowed the Argentine to mark the 100 th goal in the Premier League.
The goal hurt the confidence of the hosts, who for a while passed each second goal in his net. Error placing the ball left Kevin de Bruyne and Aguero against two defenders as Belgian decided to end alone and shot wide along the left column.
For no apparent reason, however, after this omission City "pull the throttle" and Newcastle in turn failed to take advantage of unexpected gift. Kolarov showed poor control in the central zone, which allowed Moussa Sissoko to get away alone with the keeper. French international disappointed with their shots, as he sent him into the arms of Joe Hart.
However, in the 31 th "Magpies" managed to bitten opponents. Sissoko is reavanshira to raid left and pass to the other wing where Vernon Anita himself, then with a sharp feint deal with Kolarov. Since not the most comfortable position midfielder struck a fine diagonal, but the ball bounced off the right column and back of the net for 1: 1.
Vacationing reflect fruitfully on playing City, which resumed its pressure. In the 50th minute Sergio Aguero tried to dribble between nyakoko defender in the box and fell after contact with Mbemba, and the judge took the right decision and let the game continue.
Four moments later Yaya Toure perform quick foul to Jesus Navas on the right, which came into the penalty area and from shooting heavily on the diagonal, which has exposed the best of Carl Darlou.
In the 63rd minute the Spaniard again tore down the right wing and dropped a sharp pass to Aguero behind point penalty. Argentine from shooting immediately, but Darla caught with some fluctuations.
Quarter of an hour before the end of Kevin de Bruyne took a powerful shot outside the penal and again the young guard of Newcastle was the last barrier in front of goal.
Despite the dominance of guests, just "Magpies" were the team that had a chance to steal all three points at the end. In the 88th minute reserve Georginio Wijnaldum showed enviable technique and missed several opponents in the box. 6-7 meters and not the best angle to the door Dutchman tries to overcome Joe Hart, who spread his hands and managed to parry.
Equality certainly does not satisfy either of the two teams as Newcastle (29 points) still remains behind 18th Sunderland (30 points). Norwich first team over the line with 31 points.
City turn you could not open a significant difference to the fourth Arsenal. "Citizens" are third with 61 points, while the "ball" follow them closely with 60.
