Eddie Howe’s side was shocked and incapable of creating any important attack opportunities.
Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon remained isolated, while Bruno Guimaraes and Joe Willock fought to take a place in the middle section.
Newcastle only made one shot on the target, a speculative effort by the substitute Lewis Miley in the 60th minute, easily treated by Ederson.
Manchester City ended the victory in the 84th minute with a fourth goal. The corner of Gundogan was pulled by Erling Haaland, finding James Mcatee in space. The young man reacted instinctively, walking home closely to score his first Premier League goal and put the final touch in an emphatic victory.
The only downside to the city was a delayed concern about the injury to Haaland, who cut after an obvious non -contact knee issue. With a crucial square of the Champions League against Real Madrid, Guardiola will hope for positive news for his star.
Niki sees the city move up to the fourth place on the Premier League table, three points behind the third-mounted Nottingham Forest. Their attention is now turning to their European conflict with Real Madrid before a long -awaited match against Liverpool next weekend.
For Newcastle, a disappointing night leaves their seventh place in the rankings, with a crucial component against Nottingham Forest in eight days.
