Manchester City bounced back from its damaging derby loss to Manchester United with a 3-1 win at struggling Newcastle on Saturday, keeping the champions in touch with their neighbors in the Premier League title race.
Goals by Sergio Aguero and Javi Garcia gave City a 2-0 lead at halftime, but Newcastle posed more problems in the second half and halved the deficit through Demba Ba in the 51st minute.
City, missing injured captain Vincent Kompany, held firm and clinched victory with 12 minutes remaining when Yaya Toure poked home from close range.
The win reduced City's deficit to three points to United, which plays Sunderland later Saturday, and ensured there was no linger after-effects from its first loss of the campaign.
