Newcastle fans laud Federico Fernandez after an immense display against Man City

In an impressive team performance on Saturday afternoon, Newcastle fans stunned Premier League champions Manchester City with a hard-fought 2-2 draw at St James’ Park.

The Magpies arrived on the back of a dismal 2-0 defeat to Steve Bruce’s former side Aston Villa, and taking on a team like City who had already netted 37 times in the league, was no doubt a daunting prospect.

But the Tyneside club effectively stopped Pep Guardiola’s free-scoring men with a resolute defensive performance, with the home side blocking a total of seven shots.

And one man who was at the heart of the back-line, was Federico Fernandez. As per Sofascore, the Argentine made a mammoth ten clearances, four interceptions and two tackles, and was key to the Magpies earning a precious point.

After seeing the 30-year-old’s performance, Newcastle fans flooded to Twitter to voice their thoughts on the centre-back.
