Man City make history to reach 6th-straight FA Cup semifinal
Holders Manchester City became the first team in history to reach six consecutive FA Cup semifinals, thanks to two deflected strikes from Bernardo Silva that gave them a 2-0 win over a lacklustre Newcastle United at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
City made five changes from the side that started last weekend's 1-1 Premier League draw with Liverpool and still managed to cruise into the last four as Newcastle provided little resistance.

City took the lead in the 13th minute when a Silva shot took a wicked deflection off Newcastle defender Dan Burn, wrong-footing keeper Martin Dubravka and sending the ball looping into the net.
