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.

Omar Marmoush scored a hat-trick in the space of 14 first-half minutes as Manchester City claimed a morale-boosting 4-0 win over Newcastle.

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 thrashed Newcastle United 4-0 in a Premier League match at the Etihad Stadium last Saturday, February 15. The win took the Cityzens to fourth place in the league table with 44 points from 25 matches.

Omar Marmoush said this is “just the beginning” after he kick-started his Manchester City career with a 14-minute hat-trick in Saturday's 4-0 hammering of Newcastle United. The January signing from Eintracht Frankfurt struck three times in the first half as the champions crushed one of their top-four rivals at the Etihad Stadium to climb to fourth
