Holders Manchester City will face Arsenal in the FA Cup semi-final after beating Newcastle United at St James’ Park on Sunday.
Newcastle were completely outplayed in the first half. After missing several good opportunities, Manchester City opened the scoring from the penalty spot.
Kevin de Bruyne, who has been simply outstanding once again, slotted past Karl Darlow following Fabian Schar’s needless push on Gabriel Jesus.
In the second half, Newcastle came out with a positive outlook. They pressed high up the pitch and created the best chance of the game.
Dwight Gayle, who replaced Andy Carroll, wasted Newcastle’s best chance when he skied over from six yards following Allan Saint-Maximin’s low cross.
