Newcastle 0-2 Man City match report & highlights: Kevin De Bruyne & Raheem Sterling put holders into FA Cup semi-final tie with Arsenal

A Kevin De Bruyne penalty and Raheem Sterling curler kept Pep Guardiola's side on track to defend both their domestic cup titles after already winning the Carabao Cup again this season.

It was the perfect way to bounce back from losing their Premier League crown to Liverpool on Thursday, as they dominated Steve Bruce's side from start to finish and looked more than a class above.

City now join Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal in the last four - with Guardiola's side set to face the Gunners and leaving the possibility still open of an all-Manchester FA Cup final.

City will tackle Mikel Arteta's side and United face Chelsea over the weekend of July 18/19 at Wembley - with the national stadium also playing host to the FA Cup final on August 1.
