Manchester City effortlessly secured their place in the FA Cup semi-finals after comfortably defeating a lackluster Newcastle United 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium.<\/p>\n
City are aiming to replicate last season’s remarkable Treble success, and their dominant performance against Newcastle showcased their determination to achieve this feat once again.<\/p>\n
Making FA Cup history, City became the first team to reach six consecutive semi-finals in the competition. Under Guardiola’s leadership, they have now reached the last four in seven out of eight seasons.<\/p>\n
City asserted their authority early in the match, securing a two-goal advantage by halftime. Although both goals had an element of luck, they reflected City’s dominance, enjoying 75% possession.<\/p>\n
The opener came in the 13th minute when Bernardo Silva’s shot deflected off Dan Burn’s leg and over Newcastle keeper Martin Dubravka. Shortly after, Silva’s effort found the net via a header from Sven Botman.<\/p>\n
Newcastle’s sole threatening moment came when Alexander Isak’s shot was saved by City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega.<\/p>\n
Overall, it was a comfortable evening for City, who now set their sights on Wembley once again. Meanwhile, Newcastle manager Eddie Howe faces the challenge of preventing their disappointing season from ending on a low note.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
