This is the 12th consecutive time Pep Guardiola's team has defeated the "Magpies" at home, enough to show the clear gap between the two teams at the present time.
Man City soon extinguished Newcastle's slim hopes after only 7 minutes of play. Omar Marmoush coordinated a one-touch speed before entering the penalty area. In an effort to save, Dan Burn handled it clumsily and accidentally sent the ball straight into the net to the helplessness of goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
Newcastle tried to respond with a dangerous shot from Joe Willock, but James Trafford flew to make an excellent save. However, that was just a rare moment when the away team created pressure.
The Citizens quickly regained control and continuously created opportunities with shots from Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Marmoush.
The superiority was concretized in the 29th minute when Marmoush jumped high to head accurately from Antoine Semenyo's pass, increasing the score to 2-0.
Not stopping there, just 3 minutes later, Dan Burn continued to become the culprit when his tackle accidentally sent the ball to the right favorable position for Reijnders, for this midfielder to easily finish to increase the score to 3-0.
The first half closed in a nightmare for Newcastle. Anthony Gordon was injured and had to leave the field, while Trafford continued to deny Sven Botman's goal, making it impossible for the away team to find hope, even if it was slim.
Stepping into the second half, Newcastle played more effortfully and had a goal to narrow the score in the 62nd minute. Anthony Elanga launched a technical finish after the ball hit the post, putting the ball into the net.
However, that was only a rare bright spot in the game where Man City still completely controlled. Marmoush almost completed a hat-trick, while Erling Haaland made Ramsdale twice show off his save skills in the final minutes.
This convincing victory helps Man City put aside the disappointment after the draw with Tottenham, and win a ticket to the Carabao Cup final for the first time since 2021, where they will face Arsenal.
