Pep Guardiola hails his 'special' Man City slickers after they beat Newcastle to reach their SIXTH straight FA Cup semi-final... as Eddie Howe rues bad luck and insists 'the football gods are working against' his side

Pep Guardiola hailed his 'incredible' Manchester City after they made it six straight FA Cup semi-finals with a routine 2-0 win over Newcastle.

Bernardo Silva scored two deflected goals in the first-half but City were in control for the majority, keeping alive their ambition of a second successive treble.

'This team, this club, has something special, it's incredible,' said Guardiola.

'I know we play to win the finals, but to win it, you have to win the earlier rounds. We won four Carabao Cup finals in a row and now we're in six FA Cup semi-finals in a row.
