Former Newcastle United favourites and supporters laud Kieran Trippier’s stunning goal against Manchester City

Former Newcastle United players and supporters have hailed Kieran Trippier’s stunning free-kick in the Magpies 3-3 draw with Premier League rivals Manchester City.

Eddie Howe’s side more than played their part in a Premier League classic as they shared six goals with the Premier League champions.

City went ahead in the early stages with a goal from Ilkay Gundogan before United hit back to take a half-time thanks to well-taken finishes from Miguel Almiron and Callum Wilson.

There were just nine minutes of the second-half gone when Trippier stepped up to curl a sumptuous free-kick beyond Ederson and into the top corner of the net.

Ultimately, it wasn’t enough as Erling Haaland and Bernardo Silva goals helped Pep Guardiola’s side battle back to earn a point.

But that didn’t stop those of a Magpies persuasion lauding Trippier’s wonderful free-kick.

Twitter user Cam Kirkham said: ‘Look at that face man. Magic’ and DannyNUFC tweeted “Wow. Get to the World Cup lad’.

Former Magpies goalkeeper Shay Given watched on as part of Sky Sports punditry team and described the goal as ‘fantastic’ and another old Gallowgate favourite Warren Barton tweeted ‘Beautiful’.

Magpies supporter AdamSkiG tweeted ‘GET SOME! Trips you absolute legend’ and another social media user Invinylble asked ‘What am I witnessing?’.
