00:00At St James' Park, Newcastle United were looking to bounce back from a 3-1 away defeat at Fulham,
00:07with a performance against the reigning champions, Manchester City.
00:14So we are at St James' Park, where it's finished. Newcastle United 1, Manchester City 1. Very
00:21good performance from Newcastle today, I thought they fully deserved that point. Physically,
00:27they took a lot out of Newcastle, as you'd expect against the Premier League champions,
00:30it always requires a lot of physical work to get something from Pep Guardiola's side
00:34and I thought every man on that pitch today gave that. 1 from 11, so physically, excellent
00:41and they had a star boy in Anthony Gordon who ultimately got them a point in the end.
00:47For Manchester City, who were without Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne, it was not the usual
00:52flowing performance that their supporters have become accustomed to in recent times.
00:59This was a game that City, so much of the talk and the build-up to it was about how
01:02they would cope without Rodri and of course Kevin De Bruyne who was also injured and as
01:06a first test, I think City fans would perhaps be a little bit disappointed. I thought they
01:10lacked rhythm, their usual rhythm anyway, and a little bit of creativity at times in
01:14the draw at St James' Park. On Merseyside, the wait for a win was still
01:18ongoing at 3pm on Saturday for Everton. They faced a Crystal Palace side who themselves
01:24were also winless prior to the fixture. Something had to give.
01:31Full-time here at Goodson Park, Everton finally off the mark in the Premier League, a 2-1
01:36victory over Crystal Palace, much needed for Sean Dyche's side and it caps off a fine
01:42week on and off the pitch. Obviously the freaking group agree on a takeover deal, there was
01:48a feel of a factor heading here into the game. That's to spice Everton winless in their
01:53opening five Premier League games. But they were playing a Crystal Palace side who were
01:56also winless and remained winless after six games because it was Everton who proved triumphant.
02:04Winless Wolves' prospect of securing their first three points depended on whether they
02:08could stand up to the test of early Premier League pace setters Liverpool at Molineux.
02:16Another unfortunate result, another defeat for Gary O'Neill's men who are slumped at
02:19the bottom of Premier League standings, remaining so with just one point from their opening
02:23six fixtures. Also the goal difference taking a little bit of a battering in some earlier
02:27fixtures but tonight defensively a lot better, a lot more sound. But unfortunately Liverpool
02:33were just ruthless and they are, they are of course going to be ruthless because they
02:36are fighting potentially this season for the Premier League title under Arne Schlott. Two
02:41ruthless moments, one powerful header from Ibrahima Kanate before the break and a penalty
02:46converted by Mohamed Salah were enough. Ryan Ait Nouri did get an equaliser in the start
02:51of the second half but it was very quickly cancelled out and overridden by Mohamed Salah's
02:56penalty.
