Manchester City cruised by a 4-0 victory over Newcastle on Etihad, and Omar Marmoush stole the play with an amazing hat-trick of the first half.
The late goal of James McATEe took away the dominant appearance on the side of Pep Guardiola, who continued their charge back to the top four.
City started a match with confidence after losing Real Madrid on Tuesday, dominating the possession against Magpies.
The downtime was broken in the 19th minute, the kindness of the great piece of Eerson goalkeeper. The Brazilian launched a precise passage over the top of Newcastle defense, finding Marmoush in Stree.
An Egyptian striker controlled the ball without effort before raising the exalted ending over Martin Dubravko to open scorings and register his first Premier League goal.
Oblined by his opener, Marmoush doubled his sum just five minutes later. Ilkay Gundogan was of great importance, progressing forward before picking up his teammate on the edge of the box. Marmoush took a touch before releasing a low ride that beat Dubravka in his near post, putting the city firmly in control.
The 24-year-old finished his hat-trick in the 33rd minute. Savinho, who was a constant threat to the right side, was dribbled by Lewis’ hall before returning the ball to the area.
Marmoush arrived unmarked and calmly pierced his first ending next to the helpless goalkeeper of Newcastle to score 3-0, concluding the emphasized effect of the first half from the host.

The side of Eddie Howe found to be overwhelmed and unable to generate significant attacks.
Alexander Isaac and Anthony Gordon remained isolated, while Bruno Guimaraes and Joe Willock fought to get into the middle of the field.
Newcastle managed only one shot on Target, a speculative effort of replacing Lewis Miley in the 60th minute, which Eerson easily resolved.
Manchester City ended in the 84th minute with a fourth goal. Gundogan’s corner was extinguished by Erling Haaland, finding James McAtee in space. The young man responded instinctively, driving home from close range to score his first Premier League goal and finish the touch in the accent.
The only drawback for City was late concern for Haalanda injuries, which he had broken off after an obvious non -constak knee problem. With the key quarterfinals of the Champions League against Real Madrid, Guardiola will hope for positive news of his star attacker.
The victory sees the City move to the fourth in the Premier League table, three points behind the third -ranked Nottingham Forest. Their attention is now turning to their European conflict with Real Madrid before the long -awaited showdown with Liverpool next weekend.
For Newcastle, a disappointing night leaves them on the seventh scale, with a key fixture against Nottingham Forest for eight days.
