00:00For four years in a row the Carabao Cup belonged to City but today they are at
00:07the home of the current cup holders in the first leg of the semi-final of the
00:12competition. A year ago Newcastle was bristling with feverish excitement as
00:17the prospect of a first major trophy since the late 1960s was certainly in
00:23their sights. There is a sense that there is much more expectation than hope that
00:28they can do it once again. City will have to be at their very best to get them back
00:33to the final for the first time since 2021.
00:46There you go, Newcastle on the counter.
00:48They are and it's a good ball out to the right-hand side and the ball into the box
00:52towards Wisser and the Wisser is going to hit it over the bar and the flag has not
00:56gone up for offside. So it would have counted, Wisser has put it over the bar anyway.
01:02It's a goal kick but it was a chance.
01:06Yeah, big chance, counted really quick. City just creeping up, trying to stay as high as possible,
01:12asking for offsides. We'll get a little look at it. The ball comes across early, doesn't it?
01:17But it's tight, I'm not sure you were going to get it. It takes his first touch, doesn't it?
01:22Wisser has got to do much better.
01:24As Doku again gets beyond his marker,
01:29Bernardo Silva across the face of the goal.
01:31Haaland was very close to getting a touch.
01:36Well, the opening eight minutes has said to me that Miley cannot cope with Doku.
01:40I think as soon as I see the team, we were like, yes please get Doku out there.
01:43Bernardo Silva, that clever run.
01:44It's a good one, it's a good one.
01:45It's a good one.
01:46It's a good one.
01:47It's a good one.
01:48It's a good one.
01:49It's a good one.
01:50It's a good one.
01:51It's a good one.
01:52It's a good one.
01:53It's a good one.
01:54It's a good one.
01:55I think as soon as I see the team, we were like, yes please, get Doku out there.
01:59Bernardo Silva, that clever run, he splits between defensive line and full-back.
02:04And then that slip across from Bernardo Haaland, just saying,
02:08come on, give us the delivery, almost there.
02:17Foden out wide to the left and Doku.
02:20Doku can attack Miley, he comes into the penalty area, lays it back to Ake.
02:25Ake's cross, and it's a foul.
02:28The referee didn't give it in the end.
02:31Scampering across his line, it was a decent save by Pope.
02:34It could easily have been 1-0 City there.
02:37Yeah, it just dropped in, won it.
02:39Ake's just put the ball across, and Anthony Gordon just threw around the six-yard area.
02:43He's been absolutely come back a long way, it just sort of comes off his leg.
02:46Cleared by Pope, helped on by Bruno Guimaraes, up towards Joe Linton.
02:52They're coming together, which the referee allows to go.
02:55Newcastle can come forward, and they do down the left-hand side with Gordon.
02:59Gordon can take on Kuzunov, gets to the edge of the penalty area,
03:04puts in a cross, whispers header, and tipped against the bar by Trafford.
03:08I'm not sure, actually, he got a touch on it, and in the end it hit the bar.
03:12Still not away, Newcastle in an attacking position.
03:15Shot comes in, and it's against the base of the post.
03:18I think it was Bruno Guimaraes the second time, and in the end Trafford gathers it,
03:23and Newcastle have hit the frame of the net twice.
03:25It was a fingertip just in front of the crossbar from Trafford.
03:31And then the shot from Bruno Guimaraes hit the outside of the post
03:35and went away for a goal kick.
03:37City have the ball on halfway, on it goes to Doku.
03:42Doku down the left side, trying to take on...
03:47And it does do, Barnes, and across the face of the goal
03:51and turned in by Antoine Semenyo.
03:53It's at the end where the City fans have gathered
03:57that have had a great view of it.
03:58And Antoine Semenyo, two games for City, two goals for City.
04:04They lead 1-0 at St. James' Park.
04:09A very different goal to the one he scored against Exeter at the weekend.
04:14A tap-in on the line.
04:15It was across from Doku, held top by Bernardo Silva,
04:20and turned in at the far post by Antoine Semenyo.
04:24And in the 53rd minute of the first leg,
04:26here at St. James' Park, it is City who draw first blood.
04:31And the two wingers played a huge part in it for City.
04:36Ake to Foden, Foden back to Ake.
04:46Ake plays it across to Alain, Alain helps it on.
04:50Lovely play, brilliant, actually, from Nunes.
04:53Nunes comes forward, Nunes looking for Haaland.
04:56Haaland on the edge of the area, tees up Foden, shot blocked,
04:59and then out for a City corner.
05:08As Reinders takes the corner.
05:10And City have a second, and Semenyo, he's done it again!
05:13Delivery into the box, and Semenyo has just helped it over the line.
05:18Semenyo is going to try and catch Haaland and win the golden boot.
05:23But he's just scored three unanswered goals in that duel.
05:26One on Saturday, two today.
05:28He's coming for you, Haaland.
05:30His name is Antoine Semenyo.
05:32It's 2-0 City!
05:42He doesn't look offside, does he?
05:44We're looking at a freeze frame.
05:45He doesn't look offside.
05:47But who knows?
05:48Who knows?
05:51Wow, Hugh.
05:51I mean, this is literally looking for any possible thing.
05:55This is minuscule, isn't it?
05:57It really is.
05:57I mean, this is what we don't want, but...
06:00Was VAR brought in to disallow goals for this?
06:04For a fraction of a millimetre on someone's foot against a heel?
06:08I think not.
06:19After review, Manchester City, number nine, is at an offside position.
06:23He's offside.
06:24It's 1-0.
06:25It won't count.
06:27Semenyo doesn't have his goal.
06:29Well done, VAR.
06:31You are making the game much more entertaining for everyone across the world.
06:41Trafford thumps the ball away with his right foot and out for a throw.
06:45So, Newcastle are back in this tie and it's only 1-0.
06:50Ball goes over to the right-hand side and there's a chance on the edge of the area
06:54and the shot goes wide from Tonali, who has just come on for Newcastle.
07:01That's a great effort, wasn't it?
07:02Tonali coming forward, just zipping the ball in, direct into the surface.
07:08He catches it really well, actually.
07:10Roderick plays it into Lewis and then Roderick and then Bernardo Silva and Roderick.
07:17City have the ball.
07:18The ball is now with Lewis.
07:20Lewis on the edge of the area.
07:21On it goes to Sierke.
07:23Sierke to the byline.
07:24Oh, and Pope made a save and didn't know a whole lot about it.
07:27And it goes out on this near side for a City throw.
07:30Almost went through his legs, Nick Pope.
07:33It's all good, tight position.
07:34Ryan Sierke just drifting down the right.
07:36Rico Lewis just slotting it in for him to get on that right to get a shot away.
07:42The ball is with Semenyo.
07:43Back to Ait Nori.
07:45On to Semenyo.
07:46Into the gap for Sierke.
07:48On it goes to Ait Nori.
07:49Into the box goes Ait Nori.
07:51And then Sierke!
07:53Ait Nori back to Sierke.
07:56I'm not going to get too carried away in case VAR finds something wrong with that.
08:00But unless they can't, City are two up.
08:04It's a brilliant goal.
08:06So clinical.
08:07Ait Nori, fantastic tight positions.
08:10And then Semenyo sees the pass.
08:12Sierke's touch.
08:14Sensational.
08:15And then it's the overlap.
08:17He comes round the outside.
08:18Ait Nori just carries on.
08:20And you think he's got nowhere to go.
08:22He's right near the byline, but he slides and just cuts it back.
08:25And then the finish into the corner.
