  1. HT: Man City 3-0 Newcastle

    Newcastle fans, is now a good time to mention Eddie Howe and his players are back at Etihad Stadium for a Premier League fixture in 17 days time?

  2. HALF-TIME

    Man City 3-0 Newcastle (5-0 on agg)

    Manchester City fans can get those hotels booked. Newcastle are not coming back from this.

  3. 'Trafford is on fire'

    James Trafford is on fire. It's right in that top corner. Sven Botman heads it well. It's one for the cameras.

  4. Man City 3-0 Newcastle

    To be fair, Newcastle are ending the half strongly.

    Sven Botman forces James Trafford into a decent save with a header from a free-kick.

  5. Man City 3-0 Newcastle

    Four additional minutes at the end of an incredible first half.

    What on earth does Eddie Howe say to his players at half-time?

  6. Man City 3-0 Newcastle

    Manchester City's first half:

    • 12 attempts
    • 6 on target
    • 3 goals
    • Showing no mercy whatsoever

    Don't worry Newcastle, Man City are awful in second halves, plenty of time for 5 goals!

  8. SUBSTITUTION

    Man City 3-0 Newcastle

    It is indeed. Harvey Barnes replaces a despondent Gordon, who appears to have tweaked a hamstring.

  9. Man City 3-0 Newcastle

    More bad news for Newcastle.

    Anthony Gordon has pulled up and it looks as though this could be the end of his night.

    Newcastle get worse with every game. We’ve been poor ever since we won this trophy and we only seem to be regressing. The players look clueless, shot of confidence, and Howe doesn’t have any answers. I feel like his time is coming to an end.

    Chris, Durham

    Another useless performance. This season is becoming predictable and pointless.

  11. Man City 3-0 Newcastle

    Where does Newcastle's season go from here?

    Eleventh in the Premier League, a long trip to Azerbaijan in the Champions League knockout round play-off, and an FA Cup fourth round tie at Aston Villa - live on BBC One on 14 February.

    They've gone backwards since winning the League Cup last season, haven't they?

  12. Man City 3-0 Newcastle

    It's gone wrong very quickly for Newcastle tonight.

    They've had two decent chances to score but Manchester City have been utterly ruthless in front of goal.

    And they're still hungry for more.

  13. Man City 3-0 Newcastle

    Wonder what Mikel Arteta is thinking watching this?

    The former Manchester City assistant will lock horns with Pep Guardiola at Wembley on 22 March.

    Master against the former apprentice.

  14. History repeating itself for Newcastle

    This has got ugly - and fast - for Newcastle United.

    Just as it did when these sides met in the corresponding fixture in the Premier League last season.

    Manchester City took a 3-0 lead inside 33 minutes that afternoon as Omar Marmoush ran riot and history has repeated itself.

    But those 5,400 Geordies in the away end continue to back their side.

    "Who's that team we call United?" they sing. "Who's that team we all adore?"

  15. Man City 3-0 Newcastle

    Manchester City 5-0 Newcastle on aggregate.

    And, with stoppages, there's still another hour or so to go.

  16. 'Clinical from City'

    Michael Brown
    Former Manchester City midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live at Etihad Stadium

    I said it was dangerous the way Newcastle were set up, the pace of Man City is clinical with space around them.

    It was almost like Rodri in the Champions League final, a midfielder approaching the area, and Tijjani Reijnders bends it into the corner.

    GOAL - Man City 3-0 Newcastle

    Tijjani Reijnders

    This is getting embarrassing for Newcastle!

    Another Manchester City counter = another goal.

    This time it's Tijjani Reijnders who tucks home following more good work by Antoine Semenyo.

    Newcastle look shell-shocked.

  18. 'Marmoush can't believe his luck'

    Man City 2-0 Newcastle

    Michael Brown
    Former Manchester City midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live at Etihad Stadium

    The counter was quick, and all of a sudden there's grass and space to attack.

    It looks like it's going to go away, but it flies into the air, and Omar Marmoush is waiting to head in at the back post.

    He can't believe his luck as he nods it into the empty net.

  19. Man City 2-0 Newcastle

    That goal came moments after James Trafford had kept out Kieran Trippier's free-kick at the other end following Matheus Nunes' foul on Lewis Hall which resulted in a yellow card.

  20. goal

    GOAL - Man City 2-0 Newcastle

    Omar Marmoush

    It's the Omar Marmoush show - and Manchester City are surely heading to Wembley now!

    The Egypt forward doubles City's advantage on the night and makes it 4-0 on aggregate with a close range header after Kieran Trippier fails to clear properly following Antoine Semenyo's cross.
