Manchester City defeats Newcastle 3-1 to advance in FA Cup

Manchester City defeated Newcastle United 3-1 in the fifth round of the FA Cup, overcoming an initial deficit caused by an 18th-minute goal from Barnes. City equalized through Savinho in the 39th minute, with Marmoush scoring twice in the 47th and 65th minutes to secure the comeback victory. During the match, manager Pep Guardiola received a yellow card after arguing with the fourth official over a non-called foul on Jeremy Doku. This caution was his third in the competition or sixth of the season, depending on the source reporting the disciplinary record. Due to this booking, Guardiola faces a two-match suspension, which will rule him out for the Premier League game against West Ham and the FA Cup quarterfinal. Guardiola publicly criticized the officiating, stating that certain fouls are not treated consistently in England compared to other countries. The club's manager expressed frustration regarding his disciplinary status and the officiating decisions.
