On 13 minutes, Newcastle United conceded as Bernardo Silva’s shot, deflected off Dan Burn, found the net over Martin Dubravka. Silva struck again on 32 minutes, benefitting from his left-sided play as the ball deflected past Dubravka.

Despite a saved effort from Alexander Isak, Newcastle failed to pose a significant threat. In the second half, they couldn’t find a goal to spark a comeback, while Manchester City threatened to extend their lead further.

Elsewhere, Coventry City upset Premier League Wolverhampton Wanderers with two goals in injury time to seal a dramatic 3-2 victory and book a first FA Cup semi-final since 1987.

Coventry beat Tottenham Hotspur to win the cup that year in one of the most famous finals ever, and they kept their hopes of another unlikely triumph this season alive after a remarkable finale at Molineux.
