What were the key moments in the Newcastle vs. Man City match?
Sergio Aguero's 100th Premier League goal gave Manchester City the lead at St James' Park. Even he thought he was offside by that check to the linesman by the equaliser from Vernon Anita. His first at St James' Park made it one apiece and that's how it finished. In terms of chances, attempts, City just edged it, 9-5, 5-3 on target. They had more possession as well and twice as many touches in the opposition area tonight, City, but their passing accuracy 10% down from Stamford Bridge on Saturday, their third lowest of the season. It's a draw that leaves Newcastle still in 19th, two points from safety. Reaction now from Vernon Anita and Andros Townsend with Patrick Davison.
guys who played Andros good point or could it maybe should it have been more? I think both teams had chances both teams will come off the pitch saying they should have had the three points but you know it's a point and we're still alive we're still kicking we're still in there with a chance and it's now down to us to start picking up points away from home.
You obviously went 1-0 down, their goal was clearly offside, I don't know if you were aware of that at the time, no Newcastle players seemed to complain?
No, we didn't see it at the time, but you can't change a decision, we've just got to get on with it, I think we've been criticised for our character once we've gone 1-0 down in the past, but today we showed great character, Vernon put a great cross in which somehow went in the far post and we got the point. Vernon, first goal in two years, first goal here, full stop, were you as surprised as anyone?
Yeah, but it was not a cross, it was a shot. I know my left foot is not the best, but it was a nice goal. But I think the team worked very hard and very well and we deserved the point. Do you echo what Andros said, a display of real character? Yeah, indeed. We worked very hard with each other for the team and for all the fans and we need to keep carrying on the next game.
He's not afraid to drop big players, is he, the manager, Andros? What effect is that having on the dressing room? Is it actually creating a bit of hunger that you're playing for places?
Yeah, of course, because if you know if you don't put in a good performance, there's plenty of players to come and replace you. We're lucky, we're blessed with strength and depth in this squad, so we know that if the manager rotates, the players that come in are going to do just as good a job. Overall then, where does this leave you? Of course we would have liked to win, but we're still in, we're still fighting. We're still within touching distance of Sunderland and Norwich, so we'll go to Liverpool on Saturday and try and get three points. Well, the Barclays man of the match for a brilliant cross, Vernon Anita. Thank you. Cheers, guys.
Thank you. Without doubt, it was a shot and a lovely moment for Vernon Anita. Why was he your man of the match tonight?
Just because what he mentioned, the way he character, passion, desire, and that summed up the way he scored that goal because we were screaming, can someone help Moussa Sissoko there? And Papi Sissi was the only one in the box and he came out of nowhere to show that desire and that passion and what a great finish he had.
How do you view it, Niall? Is that a good point for Newcastle? It's a fantastic point for Newcastle. It keeps the momentum going, sends a message out that they're on the up and up. And I know Norwich and Sunderland will look at that and will feel uneasy that they did so well here today. And that has to be carried on into away performances now.
How did Newcastle respond after going down 1-0?
They've been very poor at times, even under Rafa away from home. So if they can carry this on and move it on, they'll look back to these last two results and they will have been pivotal. I think, to get them in with a shout of staying up. And it might just be the catalyst for them to go on. I really believe that dressing room is the best it's been in this last four days all season. And that must surely mean something going into these last few games.
