- 85'

- 84'
Free kick to City, Tiote in late on Milner.
- 83'
David Silva slips Adebayor in behind the defence, but the City forwatd can't outpace the jet-heeled Sol Campbell, who shepherds the ball back to Krul.
- 82'

- 82'
Another corner, Tiote halted by Lescott.
- 81'
Barton's delivery has been poor all afternoon and this one is no different, Kompany clearing.
- 81'
They have a chance from this corner...
- 80'
Ten minutes to go, can the Toon Army inspire their players into a come back?
- 78'
Newcastle have not had the rub of the green at all. A dubious penalty given against them, their big summer signing has broken his leg and they've been denied a stonewaller.
- 77'
Martin Atkinson waves away penalty claims from Newcastle. Ameobi looks like he is tripped by Lescott and the referee says no. Newcastle have had some tough luck this afternoon.
- 76'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> <b>Andy Carroll on for Kevin Nolan</b>
- 74'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> <b>A wonder goal by Adam Johnson!</b> Receiving the ball wide on the right, Johnson waltzes into the box, dipping inside Enrique then Barton and unleashing a wicked drive low into the far corner. Unstoppable.
- 73'
Another free kick for a foul on Perch. Barton's delivery is again poor, but de Jong's clearance is worse, falling straight to Gutierrez, whose half volley is hit low and straight at Hart.
- 73'

- 72'
Newcastle have a free kick in a promising position. Barton fires a shot straight into the City wall, he should've done better.
- 71'
A terrible mix up costs City a chance at taking the the lead! Tevez controls the ball excellently and advances on goal. He shifts it onto his right foot, and when it looks like he's about to pull the trigger, he tries to find Silva with a pass that is over hit. A real waste.
