O'Reilly double seals key win for Man City over Newcastle

Manchester City's Nico O'Reilly scored twice at the Etihad Stadium, securing a win that moves City within two points of Arsenal, the league leaders.
Having never won in 20 previous Premier League visits to the Etihad Stadium, Newcastle was drained after a midweek trip to Baku, prompting the move to Saturday evening.
City's early pressure produced a 14th-minute opener when Erling Haaland set up Omar Marmoush, whose pass found O'Reilly to finish past Nick Pope.
City's momentum continued with a fifth straight win, while Guardiola grew frustrated and urged players to "keep the ball better" during a tense finale.
With a game in hand on Arsenal, City control their destiny in the title race and host Mikel Arteta's side in April, with a fifth FA Cup clash next month.
