Manchester City become the first team in FA Cup history to reach six consecutive semi finals.

The Pep Guardiola men are making an attempt to win yet another FA Cup as they cruised to the semi-finals of the FA Cup with ease. Manchester City started well in the game with two first-half goals from Bernardo Silva.

Newcastle tried everything possible to get a goal before the end of the game, but they were not clinical enough in front of goal, with the club attackers missing a lot of chances.


How Manchester City Qualified For The Semi Finals Of The FA Cup For The 6th Time In A Row

Bernardo Silva put Manchester City ahead with an excellent shot into the back of the net in the 13th minute of the match.

The Newcastle goalkeeper, Dubravka, failed to make any attempt to save the ball.

Manchester City kept the pressure on with a nice shot from Foden in the 27th minute of the match.

In the 31st minute of the game, Bernardo Silva shot deflected into the Newcastle net, with Newcastle goalkeeper Dubravka moving to the other side of the pitch.

Newcastle Defender Burn nodded the ball to Alexander Isak's path, but the striker's attempt was saved by Ortega, who had been impressive for Manchester City since the absence of Ederson.

In the 42nd minute of the match, Foden almost scored Manchester City's third goal, but his attempt went wide.

In the 45th minute of the match, Newcastle United goalkeeper Dubravka was quick enough in an attempt to save Doku's shot.

Manchester City had a shot on target again in the second half, with Doku forcing Dubravka to make a fine save in the 49th minute of the match.

After Doku's attempt on goal, the big Norwegian striker had his first real chance in the second half, but he put the ball on the wide side of the post.

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe was in great shock as his team kept missing chances.

In the 58th minute of the match, Willock, who was not expecting Burn to pass the ball to him, failed to hit the shot on target.

Manchester City failed to create a single chance in the second half of the game, as Newcastle were the only team trying everything possible to get into the game.
