premier league win of the seaosn after playing out a 1—1 draw at st james park. it was the visitors who took an early lead, this cross from raphinha making its way into bottom corner, helped by rodrigo's dummy. but newcastle earned a point thanks to a brilliant solo effort from allan saint—maximin. the draw means steve bruce's side remain in the bottom three with just two points from their opening five games. it's been a difficult couple of weeks, as you know. we haven't one yet, so when you don't win, that pressure increases, if that is the right word. but overall, i couldn't ask for any more. they were together, they showed a great spirit amongst them, and maybe could have won it but it could have gone either way. as for today, champions manchester city host southampton at the etihad, and manager pep guardiola says fans misunderstood him when he appeared to complain about the lack of support at home games. fans told him to stick to coaching but guardiola said he wouldn't apologise for his comments.
