Manchester City have booked their place in the quarter-finals of the Capital One Cup after dispatching of Newcastle in extra time.
The two sides were locked at 0-0 after 90 minutes, but City’s class tolled in extra time when Alvaro Negredo and Edin Dzeko powered the visitors to victory.
City had made a host of changes from the team that dramatically lost at Chelsea in the Premier League last weekend.
Joe Hart, responsible for a late howler on Sunday, watched from the bench – but City still fielded a side full of internationals.
After a low-key opening to this repeat of the 1976 final, City somehow escaped during a period of intense home domination.
