Bernardo Silva was the coolest man on Tyneside.

Newcastle United's home crowd was increasingly agitated following some robust challenges and debatable decisions during the first half of Manchester City's dramatic 3-2 victory Saturday, but the artful playmaker was unaffected.

Kyle Walker pinged the ball across toward Silva, who nonchalantly flicked the ball past Martin Dubravka with an outrageous first-time backheel.

Manchester City trailed 2-1 at the interval after top-class strikes from Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon followed Silva's opener. However, two similarly classy efforts in the second half flipped the match in the visitors' favor.

Kevin De Bruyne's precise finish from the edge of the box restored parity before Oscar Bobb latched onto a De Bruyne pass and superbly rounded Dubravka for a 91st-minute winner.
