Manchester City moved a step closer to another historic season on Saturday with their victory over Newcastle United in the FA Cup.
A couple of deflected goals from Bernardo Silva were enough to ensure that City reached the semi-final stage for the sixth consecutive season.
Pep Guardiola’s side are still in with a chance of completing an unprecedented double treble as they continue to also defend their Premier League and Champions League titles, having already won the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup this term.
The end of the cup tie at the Etihad Stadium signalled the start of the international break. Guardiola will hope to have no fresh injury concerns when his squad return from international duty but it will offer a couple of his players time to return to full fitness.
