Manchester City booked their place in a record 10th Carabao Cup final after a dominant 5-1 aggregate victory over holders Newcastle United.
Leading 2-0 from the first leg, City struck early at the Etihad as Omar Marmoush capitalised on a defensive error. Marmoush netted twice, while Tijjani Reijnders added a third as City raced to a 3-0 lead inside 32 minutes. Newcastle pulled one back after the hour, but it proved mere consolation.
Missed chances hurt the visitors as City’s control never wavered, sealing another emphatic semi-final triumph.
