We're in first place again, since City was engaged with a stubborn Southampton, City winning late to put themselves into the FA Cup final. But it was not a smooth ride. Eze blasted one past Pope in the seventh minute off a corner routine, but that was it for the scoring despite a few half chances for each team. I wanted a bigger win, of course, but the major worry is the injuries to Havertz and Eze. Gyokeres actually did well in his hour+ up front after Havertz's exit. Saka played the last ten minutes plus the seven minutes of stoppage time, and looked lively. Newcastle has lost their last six by one goal; they are a tougher opponent than their recent form suggests. But we really should have been more dominant.
