Newcastle 1-3 Manchester City: Marmoush magic settles tie
Marmoush tormented Newcastle once again.
Omar Marmoush continued his outstanding record against Newcastle United as Manchester City moved into the quarter-finals of the FA Cup with a 3-1 win at St James’ Park.
City, despite trailing Arsenal by seven points in the Premier League, are still in the mix for a quadruple, though those hopes appeared to be in jeopardy when Harvey Barnes deservedly gave Newcastle an 18th-minute lead.
But City were substantially improved after going behind, and Savinho levelled after an intense period of pressure yielded dividends.
City did not let up thereafter, and a close-range finish from Marmoush followed by a rasping second from outside the box made it seven goals in five appearances against Newcastle, whose lone hopes of silverware this season now rest on an unlikely Champions League triumph.
