Manchester City eventually prevailed and sealed a place in the last eight of the Capital One Cup after extra-time goals from Alvaro Negredo and Edin Dzeko gave them a 2-0 win over Newcastle United at St James’ Park. For 90 minutes and beyond it had been a lifeless affair of little intensity or goal-mouth action. But a much-changed City side in the end found the quality required to see of their Premier League rivals.
Before the two goals in the first period of extra time, it had been the home side that had forced the better openings. Yet Newcastle, who suffer further disappointment following Sunday’s derby loss to Sunderland, lacked a clinical touch.
