Newcastle 2-1 Man City
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: St James' Park
Newcastle fought back from going behind inside the opening minute as Manchester City's Premier League title ambitions suffered a setback with a 2-1 defeat at St James' Park.
City could have closed up to within a point of leaders Liverpool and got off to a flying start when Sergio Aguero scored after just 24 seconds.
Aguero saw another goal on 18 minutes ruled off after Kevin De Bruyne was ruled to have taken a free-kick too quickly.
Newcastle, scrapping for points at the other end of the table, were level in the 66th minute through Salomon Rondon.
With 10 minutes left, Sean Longstaff was hauled down by Fernandinho, and Matt Ritchie kept his cool to slot the resulting penalty just past Ederson after the City goalkeeper had received lengthy treatment.
Newcastle climb to 15th, five points clear of the relegation zone.
City remain four points behind Liverpool, who could extend their lead when they host Leicester on Wednesday.
