    GOAL!! 3-1 City!! Now the game appears to be finished as Sane manages to skip past all of Newcastle's players to cut the ball back to Aguero, who finishes an easy enough tap in to make it 3-1!

  • 75'
    De Bruyne attempts a shot from far outside the box but it is comfortably saved by Darlow who has been quite busy tonight.

    Dodgy bit of goalkeeping from Ederson after he does well to keep out Diame's shot, spilling the rebound into the path of Perez, whose effort is blocked by City's defenders.
  • 71'
    Great save by Darlow to deny Sterling's low volley!! This game has really livened up since the penalty.
  • 69'
    Aguero skips free from Newcastle's defenders but can't curl his shot into off the post, missing by inches.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Newcastle en el 67'
  • 67'
    GOAL!! 2-1!! Newcastle win the ball in a dangerous area and a beautiful ball from Clark skips past all of City's defenders to leave Murphy free who chips is cutely over Ederson in a shock turn of events. Newcastle are back in it!
  • 66'
    Another substitution for the visitors as Manquillo is brought off holding his ribs to be replaced by Yedlin.
  • 64'
    Newcastle make their first substitution of the game as Perez is brought on for Atsu.

de Manchester City en el 63'
  • 63'
    Goal!! 2-0 City!! Aguero hammers home the penalty as Darlow can only get close with his fingertips but it isn't enough to stop it going in the back of the net!
  • 62'
    Manchester City have a penalty after Sterling is brought down by Manquillo!!
  • 57'
    City are edging towards a second goal as De Bruyne whips in a terrific ball into the box, but Manquillo manages to get a vital interception which takes it away from Sane.
  • 52'
    After a clash of heads, Fernandinho is down receiving treatment but it looks like the Brazilian will carry on.
  • 50'
    Newcastle appear to be continuing with their first-half tactic of sitting back and allowing City to camp out in their half. Maybe the visiting side hope to maintain the one-goal deficit and go for broke in the last 10 minutes. Risky.
  • 46'
    The home side get the second half underway with no changes for either side. Can Newcastle muster some kind of response to City's 82% possession?
  • 45'
    The referee blows for half-time and the Premier League leaders go into the break 1-0 up against Benitez's side, who have spent most of the game in their half defending. There's a bit of a debate over who got the goal between De Bruyne and Aguero, although it seems that it will be put down as the Argentine's.
  • 43'
    Another half-chance for City as Aguero controls the ball inside the box but fires it right at Darlow.
  • 39'
    It's the Belgian causing problems again. De Bruyne runs onto a ball just outside the box and his shot is well saved by Darlow who pushes it out for a corner.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Manchester City en el 34'
  • 34'
    GOAL!! 1-0 City!! De Bruyne whips in a cross from the left-hand side and Aguero delicately guides his header into the back of the net! However replays show that the Argentine may not have even touched the ball. Up for debate.
  • 32'
    Half-chance for City as Sterling hits one in the box but his rising shot is straight at Darlow.
  • 29'
    Newcastle give away a cheap free-kick right on the eighteen-yard-box but De Bruyne's shot is well clear of the crossbar.
  • 24'
    Newcastle's defence is holding strong. A low cross from Sane is well blocked by skipper Lascelles.
Goal disallowed

  • 18'
    After Newcastle give away possession in front of City's box, the home side counter quickly with a cross from the left-hand side for Sterling. The England international finishes it off beautifully but it is judged rightly offside by the official. Newcastle escape there!
  • 15'
    The home side have had a few chances, but nothing clear-cut. Sane has another shot on goal but it is easily wide for a goal-kick.
  • 12'
    City don't look quite as comfortable as they did during the tie at St James with Sane being lazy in possession. Newcastle's away fans are chanting: "Come and break us down".
  • 6'
    Great chance for City! Silva cuts the ball back from the goal-line to Stones who cannot direct his powerful shot on target.
  • 5'
    The last time these two teams met, Newcastle invited pressure from City and as Liverpool proved last weekend, that isn't how to defeat the Premier League leaders.
  • 2'
    Early chance for Newcastle as a cross from the left-hand side finds Shelvey who hits his shot into the ground and is comfortably caught by Ederson.
  • 1'
    After a minutes' applause for Cyrille Regis, the visitors get the game underway at the Etihad.
