Omar Marmoush Shines with Hat-Trick as Manchester City Crush Newcastle 4-0

Egyptian Star Steals the Show in Dominant Display, Propelling City Back into Top Four

MANCHESTER — Manchester City delivered a statement performance at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, thrashing Newcastle United 4-0 behind a sensational first career hat-trick from Omar Marmoush. The Egyptian forward, a recent addition to Pep Guardiola’s squad, announced himself in style, helping City bounce back from recent defeats to Arsenal and Real Madrid and reignite their Premier League campaign.

The hosts wasted no time asserting their dominance, with Marmoush opening the scoring in the 19th minute. A stunning long ball from goalkeeper Ederson—his sixth Premier League assist, a record for a goalkeeper—found Marmoush, who expertly outmuscled Kieran Trippier before chipping the ball over Newcastle’s Martin Dubravka. The goal set the tone for a blistering first half.

Marmoush doubled City’s lead just five minutes later, slotting home after a clever pass from Ilkay Gündogan. The 24-year-old completed his hat-trick in the 34th minute, tapping in Savinho’s low cross to send the Etihad into raptures. His three-goal heroics marked a dream Premier League debut and effectively put the game out of reach before halftime.

Newcastle, who have struggled at the Etihad for years, offered little resistance in the second half. City capped off the rout in the 87th minute when substitute James McAtee converted Erling Haaland’s headed pass from a corner. However, the Norwegian striker’s late limp off the pitch with a knee injury cast a slight shadow over the victory. Guardiola will hope the issue is minor, with a crucial UEFA Champions League clash against Real Madrid looming on Wednesday.

The win lifts Manchester City back into the Premier League’s top four, capitalizing on Chelsea’s loss to Brighton. For Newcastle, the defeat is a setback, dropping them to seventh in the table and extending their winless run at the Etihad to 33 games. Eddie Howe’s side, now winless in their last two league matches, will look to regroup ahead of next weekend’s home fixture against Nottingham Forest.

As for City, the focus shifts to their European ambitions. With momentum restored and Marmoush emerging as a new star, Guardiola’s men will aim to carry this form into their Champions League showdown with Real Madrid. For now, though, the Etihad faithful can revel in a performance that reminded everyone why City remain one of the most formidable sides in world football.
