City romp into last 8 of FA Cup

Manchester City powered into the FA Cup quarter-finals as the Premier League leaders beat fourth-tier Newport County 4-1 on Saturday.

Pep Guardiola's side didn't have an easy ride in a full-blooded fifth round tie against a team 82 places below them in League Two.

City eventually hit their stride in the second half and Leroy Sane's powerful finish put them ahead before Phil Foden doubled the lead.

After a scare, Foden netted again, 79 seconds later before Riyad Mahrez wrapped up the win.
