71 min:<\/strong> Barnes is having a good game out on the left. I wonder how many goals he\u2019ll score for Scotland in next year\u2019s World Cup?<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

69 min:<\/strong> Barnes sashays in from the left and tries to fins Murphy, coming in from the right. The pass is overhit and sails out for a goal kick. Some groans. Newcastle are preparing a couple of changes. Redemption for Nick Woltemade coming up?<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

68 min:<\/strong> Smith-Rowe flaps a weak shot straight at Ramsdale from 25 yards. That was a half a chance from a pocket of space. But he does better when cushioning Robinson\u2019s left-wing cross into the road of the in-rushing Wilson \u2026 only for the Toon defence to close ranks just in the nick of time. This match really could go either way.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

66 min:<\/strong> Barnes spins into space and feeds Livramento the left. Livramento\u2019s low cross-cum-shot from a tight angle is snaffled by Lecomte. That quick one-two has got the crowd going again.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

65 min:<\/strong> Guimaraes slips a pass down the right flank for Murphy, who delivers a first-time low cross into the six-yard box, hoping to find the lurking Wissa. Lecomte dives but misses. Andersen doesn\u2019t though, running the ball into his own net. But the own goal won\u2019t stand, because Murphy was clearly offside. The decision instant and correct.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

64 min:<\/strong> The game, having restarted, becomes a bit scrappy. Newcastle are seeing more of the ball, though.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

62 min:<\/strong> Both teams take advantage of the pause in play to take on some water, plus additional tactical instruction. Willock looks to be fine, by the way. He\u2019s back up already, having spent most of this break retying his bootlaces.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

60 min:<\/strong> \u2026 although having said that, Fulham break upfield from it. Wilson tries to release Smith Rowe into the box on the right with a diagonal curler, but overhits the pass. Then Willock is clipped around the lug, accidentally so, but play stops for the head injury.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

59 min:<\/strong> Barnes crosses low from the left. Not for the first time, Lecomte drops and parries in an uncertain fashion, but this time Wissa isn\u2019t around to slot. The ball\u2019s hectically swiped behind for a corner, from which nothing occurs.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

57 min:<\/strong> There\u2019s a minor brouhaha as Fulham take an absolute age over a free kick. The referee gives Andersen the what-for, but there\u2019s no yellow card yet. Expect one to be flashed should Fulham try it on again, and for some extra time to be tacked onto the end of the match.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

55 min:<\/strong> The atmosphere is slightly muted at St James\u2019. Newcastle are getting as much as they\u2019re giving, with Fulham in a determined mood, and the home fans are a tad worried. They waited 56 years for a trophy; they don\u2019t want to give it up quite yet.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

53 min:<\/strong> One match left, so this is usually where NFL RedZone tells you to bugger off and seek out your local affiliate. That doesn\u2019t happen with the Guardian\u2019s SuperClocko\u2122 Three-Half MBM System\u00a9, though! Stay with us for the conclusion of the Toon-Fulham match. All eyes on St James\u2019 Park now!<\/p>\n

FULL TIME: Manchester City 2-0 Brentford<\/h2>\n

The eight-time winners join Chelsea in the velvet bag for tonight\u2019s semi-final draw. They were the better side, albeit fortunate Abdukodir Khusanov got away with an early opportunity-denying challenge on Kevin Schade that might have earned a red card. After that, the cream rose to the top. Number nine still on!<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

49 min +2: NEW 1-1 FUL.<\/strong> Wilson whips a cross in from the right. Jimenez mistimes his leap for a header, but still confuses Ramsdale to the extent that the keeper scrambles in a panic towards his left-hand post. Fortunately for Newcastle, the ball flies wide.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

47 min: NEW 1-1 FUL.<\/strong> Reed\u2019s first act is to clatter into Ramsey, and he\u2019s slightly fortunate not to go into the book quicksmart.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

90 min: MC 2-0 BRE.<\/strong> Manchester City are three additional minutes away from the semi-finals.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

89 min: MC 2-0 BRE.<\/strong> Events at the Etihad continue to drift to their inevitable conclusion.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

Newcastle get the third second half underway at SJP.<\/strong> Fulham have made a change, replacing Lukic with Reed.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

86 min: MC 2-0 BRE.<\/strong> Schade, who has been a thorn in City\u2019s side all evening, grinds his way along the left wing, from a position deep inside his own half, nearly breaking through on goal. Nunes cynically yanks him down at the expense of a yellow card. There were covering defenders this time, to be fair.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

83 min: MC 2-0 BRE.<\/strong> Brentford can\u2019t get to the ball. City are guiding this horse home.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

81 min: MC 2-0 BRE.<\/strong> Phil Foden, once a teenage midfield prodigy, is replaced by academy-honed debutant Charlie Gray, 19, a teenage etc., and so on, and so forth.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

79 min MC 2-0 BRE.<\/strong> A smaller club needs a bit of luck if they\u2019re to get a result away from home against a giant. Brentford haven\u2019t had any of it, Khusanov getting away with denying Schade a goalscoring opportunity, Ajer deflecting Savinho\u2019s shot along a trippy parabola and into the net. Then again, Cherki\u2019s goal was world class, and Brentford haven\u2019t done that much since some brisk early play. A real sense things are now just drifting to their conclusion at the Etihad.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

76 min:<\/strong> MC 2-0 BRE.<\/strong> City send a corner in from the right. The ball falls between Ake and Gvardiol, neither of whom can adjust to swivel and steer an effort goalless. \u201cI\u2019m not one of those people who hate all green football shirts, for example the Werder Bremen kits are usually lovely,\u201d begins K\u00e1ri Tulinius. \u201cHowever, I had to go deeper than I\u2019ve ever gone into my TV set\u2019s settings menu to adjust the picture so that Fulham\u2019s players didn\u2019t disappear into the pitch or look like they were floating on top of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

75 min: MC 2-0 BRE.<\/strong> Brentford make a couple of changes, sending on Hickey and Lewis-Potter for Kayode and Henry.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

73 min: MC 2-0 BRE.<\/strong> Savinho dribbles down the right and shoots low again, but doesn\u2019t get the lucky deflection this time. Valdimarsson gathers.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

HALF TIME: Newcastle United 1-1 Fulham<\/h2>\n

Both sides are applauded off. That was good fun.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

45 min: NEW 1-1 FUL.<\/strong> There will be one additional minute at St James\u2019 Park. This first half (the second of three in our fancy new Three-Half MBM System\u00a9) has simply flown by!<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

43 min: NEW 1-1 FUL.<\/strong> Newcastle are finishing the half strongly. Murphy nearly finds Wissa in the six-yard box with a low cross that\u2019s poked away from the striker by Andersen. Then he meets Barnes\u2019s long left-wing cross with a volley, but that effort is blocked.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

GOAL! Manchester City 2-0 Brentford (Savinho 67)<\/h2>\n

Savinho looks to have settled the tie at the Etihad! He dribbles down the inside-left channel, this way and that, before entering the box and shooting low. The ball pings off the leg of Ajer, sliding in to block, looping on a hysterical arc over Valdimarsson and into the top-right corner!<\/p>\n

Updated at\u00a016.17 EST<\/p>\n

66 min: MC 1-0 BRE.<\/strong> City make a triple change, replacing O\u2019Reilly, Gonzalez and the goalscorer Cherki with Gvardiol, Silva and Nunes.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

64 min: MC 1-0 BRE.<\/strong> Foden jinks his way into the box down the left and shapes a little bit like Zizou in the 2002 Champions League final, adjusting his body in an attempt to steer across Valdimarsson and into the bottom right. Blocked.<\/p>\n
