Manchester City's new signings had Pep Guardiola's team looking like its old self again. Omar Marmoush netted a first-half hat trick in a 4-0 win over Newcastle in the Premier League on Saturday and Nico Gonzalez provided a level of midfield control that City lacked since Ballon d'Or winner Rodri went down with a season-ending knee injury.

Manchester City's new signing Omar Marmoush bagged a hat-trick in 13 first-half minutes in a 4-0 rout of Newcastle United in the Premier League on Saturday, making an emphatic statement after arriving at the club last month.

Manchester City moved into the top four as they cruised to a 4-0 win over Newcastle at the Etihad Stadium. Chelsea’s defeat to Brighton on Friday night opened the door for City or Newcastle to move into the Champions League places and Pep Guardiola’s side burst through it in emphatic fashion.
