Omar Marmoush's Stunning Hat-Trick Leads Manchester City to Victory
Omar Marmoush announced his arrival in English football with a stunning first-half hat-trick, leading Manchester City to a dominant 4-0 victory over Newcastle United. The Egyptian forward, who joined City in a £60 million ($75 million) move from Eintracht Frankfurt in January, showcased his clinical finishing with three goals in just 14 minutes, marking his first goals for the club in his fifth appearance.
Marmoush opened the scoring with a composed lob over Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka after a precise long ball from Ederson. His second goal came five minutes later, as he controlled a pass from Ilkay Gündogan and slotted it into the bottom corner. The hat-trick was completed when Savinho set him up with a low cross, allowing Marmoush to tap in from close range. His performance was described as “ruthless” and “flawless,” with Pep Guardiola praising his dynamism and ability to adapt quickly to City’s style of play.
The victory was a much-needed boost for City, who are chasing a top-four finish in the Premier League. James McAtee added a fourth goal late in the game, capping off a comprehensive team performance. Guardiola also highlighted the contributions of other players, including Nico González, who was compared to Rodri for his midfield stability, and Erling Haaland, who captained the side for the first time and provided an assist despite not scoring.
Marmoush’s hat-trick was the fastest by any City player this season, surpassing Haaland’s previous records. His performance not only eased the pressure on Haaland but also demonstrated his potential to be a key figure in City’s attack. Guardiola expressed optimism about Marmoush’s future, stating, “Hopefully he can handle the biggest compliments because they will come now.”
The win keeps City firmly in the race for Champions League qualification and provides momentum ahead of their crucial second-leg clash against Real Madrid in the Champions League.
