Guardiola fumes after controversial defeat to Newcastle dents City’s title push

Pep Guardiola
November 2025

City lost 2-1 at Newcastle, with Harvey Barnes scoring twice and Ruben Dias replying, in a result that could leave Guardiola’s side seven points behind leaders Arsenal and raise new doubts over their title defence after a poor night in both boxes. City felt aggrieved that a tackle on Phil Foden did not bring a first-half penalty and that Barnes’ second goal stood despite Donnarumma’s foul claims and a tight offside call on Bruno, with Guardiola seen arguing with Bruno and a cameraman before refusing to elaborate in post-match interviews.

Alexander Isak reflected on a difficult few months since his 125 million pound move to Liverpool, explaining that a disrupted pre season, time training alone to force the transfer and a groin injury have all contributed to his failure so far to score a Premier League goal. After a late substitute appearance for Sweden, he said his body reacted well but he is not yet at full sharpness, stressing he will not use setbacks as an excuse and is focused on contributing again against Slovenia as experience helps him handle frustration and rebuild confidence.
