- Champions Manchester City dropped two vital points in the English Premier League title race as Jonjo Shelvey's stunning late strike earned struggling Newcastle United a 2-2 home draw on Saturday .
A scrappy game was drifting towards a draw when Kevin de Bruyne's 82nd-minute thunderbolt looked to have won the game for City, who began the day nine points behind Liverpool. Yet for the second time in the match, Newcastle replied quickly as Shelvey curled a shot past Ederson in the 88th minute. Raheem Sterling had fired City in front in the 22nd minute but their lead lasted only three minutes, as Jetro Willems finished off a fine Newcastle move.
Despite enjoying overwhelming territorial superiority, City lacked their usual cutting edge as Newcastle sat deep but de Bruyne's late 25-metre strike which cannoned in off the underside of the crossbar appeared to have sealed it.Should Liverpool beat Brighton later on Saturday, they will move 11 points clear of the champions.
