Manchester City‘s new signing Omar Marmoush bagged a hat trick in 13 first-half minutes in a 4-0 rout of Newcastle United in the Premier League on Saturday.
James McAtee added a late strike for Pep Guardiola’s side who climbed to fourth place in the standings on 44 points, while Newcastle slipped to seventh on 41.
Marmoush gave the hosts the lead in the 19th minute when City goalkeeper Ederson launched a long pass that defender Kieran Trippier misjudged and the Egypt international lobbed the ball over the onrushing Martin Dubravka.
Marmoush doubled his tally five minutes later when he latched onto a pass from Ilkay Gundogan before firing in a low shot that took a slight deflection off Trippier.
The striker completed his hat trick in the 33rd when Savinho found him with acres of space for a blistering shot from 12 yards out.
Marmoush said he was happy to help earn his side a much needed victory.
“Amazing day, the feeling is crazy. And the three points, we came in from the first minute and got the job done,” Marmoush told BBC Sport.
“It was all fast paced, I was really happy to help the team.
“I also have to thank my team-mates, the coach and staff, everyone helped me from the first day making me feel part of this family.
“It was an amazing atmosphere, I would like to thank the fans for the really nice applause.”
