João Cancelo scored a great goal for the 2-0 Manchester City vs. Newcastle | VIDEO

Manchester City is one of the great candidates to win the Premier League title, not only because of their good team level, but also because of the outstanding individuals on the squad. And this weekend, João Cancelo gained prominence for the brilliant play and spectacular goal he made against Newcastle.

The play was constructed by Pep Guardiola’s coaches from their own field, with a perfect combination of passes. Aymeric Laporte yielded to Rodri Hernández and he enabled the central Rúben Dias, who caused the attackers of the ‘Urracas’ to come forward to pressure him.

Before receiving the mark, the defender gave possession to João Cancelo, who extended the ball to Kevin de Bruyne, and then quickly departed through the center of the field. The Belgian analyzed the panorama and tried to take advantage of the speed of Riyad Mahrez on the right, but the Algerian did not find spaces and had to endure his route.

The skilled winger raised his head and made a low touch towards Cancelo, a side who was totally free in the middle. The Portuguese advanced quickly, leaving Joe Willock on the road, with ease, and then Isaac Hayden, who ended up lying on the grass by a brilliant hitch.

The Manchester City star was already on the crescent of the area and did not hesitate to shoot at the goal, nailing the ball through the right area of ​​goalkeeper Martin Dubravka. The partial result makes the ‘Citizens’ add up to 44 points, while Newcastle is still in box 19 with only 10 units.
