Pep Guardiola Dampens Talk of Quadruple & Warns His City Team Over 'Big Mistake' After FA Cup Win

Pep Guardiola has warned his players over complacency as Manchester City secured their place in the FA Cup quarter finals after a hard-fought 4-1 win over Newport County at Rodney Parade.

City were left frustrated at the end of the first 45 minutes having been unable to find a way past a stern Newport defence with the hosts having the majority of the good chances in the first period. However just five minutes into the second half, Leroy Sane's close range finish seemed to settle the nerves of the City players.

Phil Foden doubled City's lead with 15 minutes remaining with a wonderful solo effort and whilst it looked as though the League 2 outfit had grabbed themselves a lifeline through Padraig Amond, Foden killed the game off just seconds after the restart with his second of the game before Riyad Mahrez rounded off the scoring to secure a 4-1 win for City.
