Kovacic: Man City Deserve To Beat Newcastle

Manchester City midfielder Mateo Kovacic has expressed disappointment with the team’s 1-1 draw against Newcastle in Saturday’s Premier League.

Recall that Kovacic was impressive on the day.

But he admitted afterwards: “I think it was a tough game as always here.

“It is a tough place to come with high intensity, duels, tackles, so it’s always a battle.

“This is a team that wants to win every game, so when you draw it’s never nice, but we could have won the game, we had our chances to close the game earlier and then we conceded the penalty.

“So we have to live with the draw today, but obviously we came here to win and we have to improve on some parts of our game.”
