Manchester City came from behind to beat Newcastle 3-1 at St James' Park and reach the FA Cup quarter-finals, with Omar Marmoush scoring twice to haunt Eddie Howe's side once again. Harvey Barnes had given the hosts a deserved lead inside a frantic opening, but goals from Savinho and a Marmoush double turned the fifth-round tie on its head.
Pep Guardiola, who had described the trip to Tyneside as a "nightmare", made 10 changes from the side that drew 2-2 with Nottingham Forest in midweek, leaving Erling Haaland to rest at home. Howe made four alterations with Tuesday's Champions League last-16 first leg against Barcelona to come, but Newcastle's dream of returning to Wembley was extinguished in emphatic fashion.
Barnes Lights the Touchpaper
Newcastle started with the intensity their febrile crowd demanded, pressing high and forcing uncharacteristic errors from City's back line. Nick Woltemade saw a header cleared off the line by Nico Gonzalez after James Trafford's poor parry before the hosts found their breakthrough.
