Man City’s Nico O’Reilly expressed his hope to win the Premier League title after helping his team secure a 2-1 victory against Newcastle United on Saturday night.
The 20-year-old, who played in midfield, scored two goals in the first half, with Lewis Hall netting an equalizer in between, to clinch the win at home.
City is now just two points behind leaders Arsenal, who will face Tottenham Hotspur in the North London Derby on Sunday.
