Manchester City secured a 2-0 Carabao Cup semi-final lead over Newcastle thanks to goals from debutant Antoine Semenyo and substitute Rayan Cherki. The match was overshadowed by a chaotic six-minute VAR delay that disallowed a second Semenyo goal for a controversial offside. Despite the frustration, City’s late strike at St James’ Park gives them a massive advantage heading into the second leg.
