Savinho’s Unique Goal Secures Equalizer for Manchester City Against Newcastle
March 7th, 2026, 20:50
Savinho found the net in an unusual fashion for Manchester City, leveling the score against Newcastle United during their FA Cup match last night.
Earlier in the game, Harvey Barnes had put Newcastle ahead with a goal. However, Jeremy Doku’s impressive play on the left allowed Savinho to respond, bringing the score to 1-1.
The Brazilian winger appeared somewhat unaware as he stood in the penalty area when the ball ricocheted off him and crossed the goal line.
In a surprising moment, Savinho managed to score without moving, seemingly not expecting Doku’s cross to reach him.
Savinho doesn’t know much about it, but he’s equalised for Manchester City at St. James’ Park ?

Manchester City’s lineup featured several changes, as Pep Guardiola highlighted the need for rotation amidst a congested schedule.
Despite resting key players including Erling Haaland and Gianluigi Donnarumma, City’s alternate squad performed admirably, maintaining a competitive edge.
This goal is significant for Savinho, who has struggled to make a strong impact since joining the club.
City will be keen to avoid extra time in the match, especially considering Arsenal’s success in their earlier fixture. Both teams are navigating a demanding schedule, vying for the Premier League title and preparing to clash in the Carabao Cup final later this month.
