The sixth round of England's "Premier" league began with a match in Newcastle.

"Newcastle United" managed to hold "Manchester City" with Erling Haaland to a 1:1 draw.

The match started with probing from both teams. "Manchester City" was the first to score – on the 35th minute, Joško Gvardiol found the net, handling the ball like an experienced center-forward.

After the break, "Newcastle" applied pressure on the visitors. Finally, Anthony Gordon provoked a penalty after a foul by Ederson. Gordon himself converted this standard situation.

The match was quite rough. A total of eight red cards were shown during the game. A bigger conflict occurred between Sandro Tonali and Jack Grealish. The Englishman threw an elbow in the first half but was not punished, while in the second half, the two players had a push-and-shove.

After the equalizing goal, "Newcastle" players were active, but after some time they calmed down and the match ended in a draw.

In the league table, "Liverpool" and "Aston Villa" can overtake "the citizens." Meanwhile, "Arsenal" can only catch up to Guardiola's team.
