The World Cup winner curled a shot into the top corner after 31 minutes.
JULIAN ALVAREZ’S FINE first-half strike handed Manchester City a hard-fought 1-0 win over Newcastle in their first home match since winning the treble.
Yet the hosts, despite making just two changes following their draining European Super Cup venture in Athens in midweek, were too strong and successfully nullified Eddie Howe’s side. Alvarez then whipped in a low cross but failed to find Erling Haaland before Mateo Kovacic and Foden both had efforts blocked.
The Argentinian then did the rest, picking his spot from the edge of the area and firing a shot beyond Nick Pope.
