Last season's Premier League runners up began their assault on the title in fine fashion against a Yohan Cabaye less Toon side that had Steven Taylor sent off in the first half.
Manchester City ran out easy winners over 10 man Newcastle United on Monday night, as Manuel Pellegrini's side recorded a resounding 4-0 win to send them top of the Premier League table.
First half goals from David Silva and Sergio Aguero gave City an early lead, before Magpies centre back Steven Taylor was given a straight red card for hitting out at the diminutive Argentine goalscorer just before the break.
The home side's dominance continued in the second period, with Yaya Toure marking his 100th Premier League appearance by curling a free kick past Tim Krul just after the restart, and substitute Samir Nasri completed the scoring with 15 minutes remaining.
Fernandinho, who arrived from Shakhtar Donetsk in the close season, was handed a competitive City debut along with Spain international Jesus Navas. But Alvaro Negredo, who joined with Navas from Sevilla, was only named among the substitutes.
