Manchester City made history by securing a spot in the semi-finals of the Emirate FA Cup after defeating Newcastle United in the quarter-finals. This victory marked a special milestone for the club as they became the first team in FA Cup history to reach the semi-final stage in six consecutive campaigns.

Under the guidance of manager Pep Guardiola, Manchester City has been in impressive form in the FA Cup, winning their last ten matches with an aggregate score of 33-3. This season alone, they have scored 14 goals, showcasing their attacking prowess and defensive solidity. From a 5-0 victory over Huddersfield Town to a hard-fought 1-0 win against Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City has been relentless in their pursuit of success in the tournament. Their most recent 2-0 victory over Newcastle United further solidified their status as one of the top contenders for the FA Cup title.

In the quarter-final match against Newcastle United, Bernardo Silva emerged as the hero for Manchester City, scoring both goals for his team. His first goal came at the 13th minute when his shot deflected off a Newcastle United player and found the back of the net. Silva continued his fine form and secured the victory for his side with another goal at the 31st minute. His clinical finishing and attacking prowess were instrumental in Manchester City’s success in the match.

Looking ahead, Manchester City will now turn their focus to the upcoming international break before embarking on a crucial phase of their campaign.
