EPL: Man City drop points again against stubborn Newcastle at St. James Park.
Anthony Gordon rescued a point from the penalty spot as Newcastle United held champions Manchester City to a 1-1 draw at St James’ Park.
Pep Guardiola’s men were without Kevin de Bruyne and long-term absentee Rodri, but looked to be on course for victory when Josko Gvardiol opened the scoring with a superb turn and finish on 35 minutes.
Newcastle, who were missing hitman Alexander Isak, struggled to carve-out clear-cut opportunities in the first half, but burst into life when Gordon won and converted a spot kick just shy of the hour.
The draw sees Manchester City extend their lead at the summit to two points, although they could be replaced at the top should results across the rest of the weekend go against them.
Newcastle are three points further back in fifth.
