Game state — minutes spent ahead, level and behind
Possession and xG are only published as whole-match totals. A side that led for an hour and sat deep produces the same raw numbers as one that was outplayed, so this is the context those totals were accumulated in. Measured on a nominal 90 minutes — stoppage time is not published per match.
| Team | Ahead | Level | Behind | Possession |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Manchester City | 71' | 19' | 0' | 54.8% |
| Newcastle United | 0' | 19' | 71' | 45.2% |
