- 3 Newcastle Stars who were crucial in the club's 1-1 draw against Man City.
Bruno Guimaraes
Before the Manchester City fixture, Eddie Howe had time and again shown confidence in his club captain, and it did eventually pay off as the star midfielder looked much better in today's game. Not only through his regular game but the number 6 was very elemental in restricting the scoreline to a 0-0 draw for much time, as he stopped Gundogan, who was running at an exposed Magpies backline.
Apart from this intelligent play, the Brazilian ace, making key passes, playing crucial long balls, and having an eye on the defensive front, was one of the best Newcastle players in the fixture. With Bruno Guimaraes returning in form against Manchester City, Newcastle could finally have a sigh of relief as their club's most consistent performer seems nearing his best.
