Manchester City Crushes Newcastle with Marmoush's Sensational Hat-Trick
Manchester City delivered a dominant performance against Newcastle United, securing a 4-0 victory at the Etihad Stadium, with Omar Marmoush stealing the show with a sensational first-half hat-trick. The Egyptian forward, who joined City in January, announced himself in style, netting three goals in just 14 minutes. His first came in the 19th minute, assisted by Ederson, followed by two more strikes to complete his treble. Substitute James McAtee added a fourth late in the game, capping off a comprehensive win for Pep Guardiola’s side.
The result propelled Manchester City to fourth in the Premier League table, while Newcastle slipped to seventh. Despite a solid start from the visitors, they were unable to recover after Marmoush’s opening goal. The Magpies managed only one shot on target, highlighting their struggles in attack. City, meanwhile, showcased their clinical edge, converting chances with an expected goals (xG) of 1.89.
The match was not without concern for City, as Erling Haaland limped off late in the game with a non-contact knee injury. Guardiola, however, remained optimistic, stating that the striker walked off smiling and that there was no immediate bad news from the medical team. The injury comes just days before City’s crucial Champions League clash against Real Madrid.
Marmoush’s performance has raised hopes that he could be a key figure in City’s push for a top-four finish. His hat-trick not only secured three vital points but also dented Newcastle’s ambitions in the league. City will now turn their attention to European competition, while Newcastle will look to bounce back in their next fixture against Nottingham Forest.
