Phil Foden hails the fans 👇

“It was the first game at home. We wanted to start in the right direction.

“The performance was top. I enjoyed being home.

“The fans were brilliant from minute one and it lifted us over the line.”

Pep Guardiola on the 1-0 win 👇

“There are no words to express my gratitude for the performance we gave. It was really, really good.

"It is the second game but after what we done in the last season, we are still there.

"We spoke about mentality. The reason we won was about our mentality and we proved it again.”

Phil Foden created seven chances from open play against Newcastle United.

That's his most in a single Premier League game, in what was his 131st appearance in the Premier League. 

Hugely impressive.

Eddie Howe on Man City 👇

“Their performance was very good. The quality they have. Their ball retention is very high.

“We know we can better. That’s the challenge we face.

“We were up against the best team in world football.”

Manuel Akanji on Phil Foden’s performance 👇

“Phil is so good with his back to goal.

“He moves between the spaces as we saw again today.

“I hope he continues doing it this season.”

Manuel Akanji on the 1-0 win 👇

“It felt amazing. Newcastle are a great team and it wasn’t easy against them. We did a good job.

“With the game in Greece the recovery was not as planned and it’s still early but we showed a great game today.

“Always as defender it is good to keep a clean sheet. With the ball we played great. Overall we did great and I can’t remember 100% any chance of theirs.”

Tonight's 1-0 Premier League victory over Newcastle United was City’s 17th consecutive home win across all competitions.

The victory sets a new club record, surpassing two occurrences of 16 straight victories - the first in 1920/21 under the stewardship of Ernest Mangnall and the second just last year between April and November 2022.

Our current run of home victories started with the 4-0 FA Cup third round defeat of Chelsea on 8 January.

Well done, boys.

Pep Guardiola and his players doing a lap of appreciation - and thanking the Etihad crowd.
