Man City thrash Newcastle to reach Carabao Cup final

Manchester City will face Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final after ending Newcastle’s reign as holders with a 3-1 victory at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday.

City completed a 5-1 aggregate win over Newcastle, following a 2-0 victory in the first leg.

Egypt forward Omar Marmoush scored twice early on before Tijjani Reijnders put the outcome beyond doubt before the first half was through.

Newcastle made a better fist of it after the interval, Anthony Elanga pulling one goal back, but the tie was a lost cause by then.

Newcastle’s grip on the trophy that ended their 70-year wait for major domestic silverware last season has been relinquished. It is Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City who will contest the final against Premier League leaders Arsenal at Wembley on March 22, 2026.
