The Magpies failed in their attempt to remain unbeaten in six consecutive home games in the top division against the reigning champions for the first time since 1996.

Comments:

League position: 1st Manchester City became the first team to win 34 games in a year in the top division. Liverpool won 33 games in League Division One in 1982. City had now scored a club record of 106 goals in the top division in a year (2021); previously 104 in League Division One in 1929. They had now won their last eight games in the Premier League (for 24, conceded three). Riyad Mahrez's goal was initially disallowed for offside but the decision was subsequently overturned following a VAR review.
