Manchester City has reached the top of the Premier League table following a 2-0 win at Newcastle United on Sunday.
The victory, however, could have repercussions for both teams on and off the pitch, with City facing the possibility of losing key player Samir Nasri for a lengthy period after he was taken off on a stretcher with a leg injury, while off the pitch, Newcastle may face disciplinary action after touchline rows.
According to Sport24, Edin Dzeko scored an early goal and Alvaro Negredo added another in stoppage time to give City their 10th successive win against Newcastle.
City extended their unbeaten run to 15 games, but they were indebted to goalkeeper Joe Hart for several fine saves as they came under pressure in the second half, the report added.
