Manchester City cruised into the FA Cup semi-finals with a comfortable victory over a jaded and disappointing Newcastle United at Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola's side remain in contention to repeat last season's historic Treble of Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup, and were barely troubled on a rain-lashed night in Manchester.
City were in control with a two-goal lead by the break, and although both goals had an element of good fortune, they reflected a half in which the holders were dominant with 75% possession.
First, Bernardo Silva's shot was deflected up and over Newcastle keeper Martin Dubravka by Dan Burn's outstretched leg after 13 minutes, then the Portuguese's effort went in via the head of defender Sven Botman just after the half hour.
