Manchester City secures a win against Newcastle United in a controversial game

Manchester City scored another win albeit a controversial one against a tenacious Newcastle United side 2-0. The Citizens scored in the early minutes of the game when Edin Dzeko latched on to an Alvaro Negredo cross. 

The Magpies could have equalized the game when Chieck Tiote's goal was nullified by referee Mike Jones.  This resulted a howl from Newcastle fans and manager Alan Pardew who confronted Jones at half time.  Jones stuck to his decision as a FIFA rule states that it is still offside even if the player did not touch the ball but he "interfere with an opponent" by "preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent's line of vision or challenging an opponent for the ball"

The game became fierce from then on until it resulted into a very hard Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa foul on Samir Nasri who was carried on a stretcher out of the pitch. 

The game finally become out of reach of Newcastle as James Milner released Alvaro Negredo in injury time who got a lucky ricochet from Newcastle goal keeper Tim Krul to score an easy goal.
