Riyad Mahrez reach double figures as Manchester City reach FA Cup quarter-finals

Riyad Mahrez found the target as Manchester City defeated Newport County to progress to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

The winger who has had to be content with cameo roles in the Premier League since the turn of the year continued with Cup duty, starting alongside Gabriel Jesus and Leroy Sane in attack.

City drew blank in the opening 45 minutes against the stubborn League One side, but Sane broke the deadlock six minutes after the restart.

Youngster Phil Foden doubled their lead with 15 minutes left on the clock, but Rodney Padraig's 88th-minute effort set for a tense finale at Rodney Parade.
