Ederson
No chance with the goal, and had very little else to do - his defence rarely give him the chance to make saves 6
Kyle Walker
Struggled with pacy St Maxiin at first but that became an intriguing battle in which he held his own 5
John Stones
Always good coming out with the ball but he is part of a collectively failing defence 6
Fernandinho
Some brilliant one-on-one defending but he failed to make it hard for Willems for the equaliser 6
Benjamin Mendy
For a left back whose main attribute is attacking and crossing, he is failing to badly. 4
Ilkay Gundogan
Helped City gain control in the second half, but he still is not finding any killer passes 6
Kevin De Bruyne
Newcastle closed him down effectively, that he could not influence the goal until BOOM! 7
David Silva
Brilliant touch to set up Sterling's goal but there is a distinct lack of sparkle about much of his work these days 5
Riyad Mahrez
Was as anonymous as he was for long spells of the Chelsea game - but at least in that he scored a wonder goal! 4
Gabriel Jesus
Missed City's best chance when through on goal, to cap off another truly below-par performance 4
Raheem Sterling
Great finish to put city ahead and even below his best always looked most likely to unhinge the Toon 7
Subs
Bernardo Silva
(for Mahrez 69) Missed a great chance 5
Phil Foden
(for D. Silva 69) Changed nothing 6
Rodri
For Jesus N/A too late to mark
Not used: Bravo, Cancelo, Otamendi, Angelino,
