Manchester City delivered a dominant performance on Saturday, dismantling Newcastle United 4-0 in a Premier League clash at the Etihad Stadium.
Omar Marmoush starred for the hosts, netting a first-half hat-trick before James McAtee added the finishing touch late in the game.
Marmoush opened the scoring in the 19th minute, capitalizing on a pinpoint long pass from goalkeeper Ederson.
The Egyptian forward struck again five minutes later, this time converting a well-placed assist from Ilkay Gündogan.
City continued their relentless attack, and in the 33rd minute, Marmoush completed his hat-trick after connecting with a pass from Savinho.
Newcastle struggled to find any response, with City’s defensive solidity keeping them at bay.
The Magpies’ misery was compounded in the 84th minute when McAtee latched onto an Erling Haaland assist to make it 4-0, sealing a comprehensive victory for Pep Guardiola’s side.
With this win, Manchester City climbed to fourth in the Premier League standings, reaching 44 points as they continue their pursuit of the title.
Newcastle, meanwhile, will need to regroup quickly after a humbling defeat.
