Man City vs Newcastle player ratings: Josko Gvardiol and Jack Grealish impress but Ilkay Gundogan needs to do better as life after Rodri injury begins with a draw

Josko Gvardiol's individual brilliance was canceled out by Anthony Gordon's penalty, leaving Manchester City to an entertaining 1-1 draw at Newcastle on Saturday.

Newcastle were in the shadows in terms of chances in the first half until Gvardiol scored a moment of brilliance in the 35th minute. Jack Grealish skipped past a would-be tackler and the Croatian defender showed great feet before effortlessly edging past Nick Pope.
