3 Newcastle Stars who were crucial in the club's 1-1 draw against Man City

Newcastle United, unlike many would have expected, considering their recent form, have reduced Man City to a 1-1 draw at St. James. While the club wasn't at their best, even today, they certainly did well enough to grab an important point against the best PL club currently. Though they still committed some grave mistakes in the fixture, by fortune, and some brilliant saves from Nick Pope in the goal, the Magpies now have 11 points against their name in the 5th position in the Premier League Table.

Going down 1-0 in the first half and then equalizing it with a brilliant effort, Newcastle United would be happy with its performance against a dominant Manchester City. While several players played their part in the club's important draw, here are the 3 Newcastle stars who were crucial in the 1-1 draw against Manchester City:

Anthony Gordon

Since the beginning of the season, much speculation and concern have been made about the off-form of Magpies star Anthony Gordon. However, with a brilliant, morale-boosting performance, the wing forward helped Newcastle United collect an important point against Manchester City, where least was expected from them.

Soon after the halftime break, Gordon made a brilliant run, going a near 1-on-1 against Ederson, who fouled the star winger in the process. As has Gordon's repute for performing in crunch situations, the English international held his nerves, making no mistake in sending the Manchester City keeper to the wrong side, equalizing it for the Magpies club. Not only did this goal help the club boost their morale with the 1-1 draw, but it also increased Gordon's confidence for the season ahead.
