Holders Man City Cruise Past Newcastle Into FA Cup Semis

By Daily Sports on June 29, 2020

Kevin de Bruyne’s first-half penalty and a superb strike by Raheem Sterling after the break earned holders Manchester City a comfortable 2-0 win at Newcastle United in the weekend's last FA Cup quarterfinal on Sunday.

City’s domination of the first half was absolute and the only surprise was it took a penalty for them to lead at halftime, De Bruyne slotting home in the 37th minute.

Newcastle did improve marginally after the break and substitute Dwight Gayle somehow missed a gaping goal.

One minute later Sterling curled home a delightful effort to seal City’s progress and set up a semifinal against Arsenal.

All four of this year’s Cup quarterfinals, all played behind closed doors, were won by the away team – the first time that has happened since 1987.
