The £60 million Egyptian sensation, Omar Marmoush, put on a spectacular show as Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City delivered a statement win in the race for Champions League qualification. Marmoush announced his arrival in English football in style, scoring a stunning first-half hat-trick to help City crush Newcastle 4-0. This dominant performance was the perfect response after their heartbreaking Champions League exit against Real Madrid.
Marmoush, who joined City in January for £60 million from Eintracht Frankfurt, had a slow start to his Premier League journey. However, he proved his worth by netting three goals in just 14 minutes during the first half, leaving Newcastle’s top-four hopes in tatters. The match was crucial in the battle for a top-four finish, especially after Chelsea’s heavy defeat to Brighton, and Marmoush stepped up when it mattered most.
Newcastle started the game brightly, but City quickly took control with their direct style of play. Goalkeeper Ederson launched a long ball forward, bypassing the midfield, and Marmoush expertly lobbed Newcastle’s Martin Dubravka after a clever first touch. This was his first goal in five appearances for City, and he didn’t stop there. Just five minutes later, he struck again. Savinho played a key role, setting up Ilkay Gündogan, who threaded a perfect pass to Marmoush. The Egyptian forward controlled the ball with his left foot and calmly slotted it into the bottom corner.
Savinho was once again the creator for the third goal, using his blistering pace to beat Lewis Hall on the right flank before squaring the ball to Marmoush, who tapped it in to complete his first-ever career hat-trick. City dominated the second half without breaking a sweat, and substitute James McAtee added a fourth goal in the 84th minute to cap off a confidence-boosting victory.
This win not only strengthened City’s position in the top-four race but also showcased Marmoush’s potential to become a key player for the team.
