🚨 League Cup: Man City edge Newcastle, Cherki scores | OneFootball

A foot in the final.

This Tuesday evening, Manchester City traveled to Newcastle's field for the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals.

After a very tight match, where Newcastle notably hit James Trafford's post, it was Pep Guardiola's protégés who emerged victorious in this first leg (0-2).

The Citizens were able to count on a new goal from their winter signing Antoine Semenyo (53'). The Ghanaian has now found the back of the net in each of his first two matches in his new colors.

On the bench at the start of the match, Rayan Cherki came on at the end of the game to help his team secure the win with a service from Rayan Aït-Nouri at the end of added time (90+8').

It should be noted that Antoine Semenyo could have scored a double, but his second goal was disallowed due to a slight offside position by Erling Haaland.

See you on February 4th for the second leg of this semi-final, while Arsenal and Chelsea will play their first leg on Wednesday evening at 9 PM.
