Are you not entertained?! Man City player ratings vs Newcastle as genius Kevin De Bruyne inspires comeback of champions in St James' Park thriller

Everything felt like it was falling into place for Manchester City even before they had kicked a ball at Newcastle due to Kevin De Bruyne's long-awaited return, with the Belgian then inspiring an incredible comeback win after coming off the bench.

It now feels like a case of when rather than if City will win a fourth consecutive Premier League title. Pep Guardiola's side produced one of their best performances of the season in a stunning first-half display at St James' Park and took the lead with an audacious backheeled finish from Bernardo Silva.

But then the champions inexplicably found themselves behind after brilliant goals from Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon in the space of three minutes. So Guardiola turned to De Bruyne and the assist king, making his first Premier League appearance in five months, duly delivered.

De Bruyne stroked the ball into the net to level the match and then in injury time he played an outrageous pass to Oscar Bobb, who calmly danced the ball into the net. City were dancing at full-time and celebrated like they had won the title. It felt like they had.
