Thanks for choosing to follow the match with us tonight. Newcastle kicking towards the Leasers' end, right-to-left as we look uphill, and the ball played back by Manchester City to goalkeeper Ederson. 30 yards from Newcastle's goal. Central position, Manchester City, and Gomez tackled by Joelinton, and Isak, good feet, gets away from a couple, and then Hall on the left, back through for Isak, might be able to get into the area, trying to take on Vardyol. The defender's done really well. It's going to be a Newcastle throw on the left wing, he was just about to get clear, and Vardyol intervened. Yeah, great defender, wasn't it? Strong. Akanji on to Gomez, inside away from target. Joelinton makes Gomez go back into his own half with that pass to Akanji. Ake to Phillips, on to Bob, and now there could be a way, Alvarez making a run to the right, Oscar Bob plays in, Julian Alvarez, tight angle, saved by Pope. Newcastle for a throw, and City had players coming in, looking to get something out of the rebound, but they just got it clear in time. That was slow, slow, quick, quick, wasn't it? You know, we talk about them being slow. Just stuck a boot out, didn't he? How many saves does he make with his feet? Elsewhere, Blackburn, 2-1 up on Cardiff, in an all-championship match. This is Grealish, played through, but Paul Dummett comes sliding in from the side. The ball back to Nick Pope. Yeah, brilliant tackle. The cells... to Pope. Ball out wide, left to target, he's headed it infield. Manchester City missed it initially, Miley went chasing after it, but Ake got there. Joelinton then with a win for Isak, Murphy free to the right, Jacob Ortega, Gasol's first shot of the evening, but Ortega makes the save, and it's a corner. Big chance, huge chance. Trying to get back across the keeper, and he makes a save with his feet. Newcastle push right up here to almost halfway. Ball into midfield from Ortega, Kovacic with a man at his back, he's been able to turn, and then Joelinton is there. Now they can potentially come forwards, but City with a tackle and a response from the crowd to that competitive midfield play, and Livramento across the box, with a cross from the far side. Roman City throw in the full-back position. Pope rolls it underarm to Lascelles, useful ball into midfield to Isak, Chris Kavanagh blows his whistle, nil-nil, and St James is here at half-time then. One big save from Nick Pope on his 50th Newcastle appearance from the shot from the right side of the penalty area. Manchester City with so much possession and territory and play. Newcastle with one attempt, Joelinton winning it back, Isak then on through to Murphy, shot from inside the box, saved, low down by Ortega, and it's goalless. Gomez to Bob. Back to Phillips, 35 yards out, Alvarez, heavy touch, Bruno with it for United. Gets it back from Joelinton, on to Tonali, lovely from the right, Murphy's got it, Isak in the middle, on the move in the box, it's back through for Livramento, the cut back to Tonali! Ball spins out to the right wing where Murphy keeps it alive, takes on Grealish, turns back, passes it to Bruno. And then it's given to Lascelles, and square to Dumit in the centre circle, 0-0, three minutes gone in the second half. Joelinton with a little flick through his legs, back to Bruno, Lascelles, over halfway to Murphy, on to Tonali, back to Murphy, and then for Isak to chase, Akanji is there first, Isak putting the pressure on, and winning it back from Akanji, this is what the crowd want to see, Isak in the box, support from Livramento, but it's a short ball towards Livramento, and Akanji intercepts. Lascelles then makes the challenge, Livramento with another, Newcastle on the attack, Bruno's ball towards Joelinton, too high. As I said, obviously got a flea in her ear at half-time. Dumit again, I think in the first half most of their passes went backwards, now they're playing full. And Murphy, lovely turn, Joelinton edge of the area, Joelinton still going, what a run from Joelinton! And then the cut! Gone amiss, back post all on his own, knocked it into an empty net, got it across, Enrico Luis I think just got in a bit of a tangle, and it went underneath him and reached Isak. Who made no mistake, never gonna miss, and he's level now with Wilson on four for the season. The two substitutes have given them something. Gordon on the left, Bruno in midfield, there's Bruno, pairing around in midfield, closing for Kovacic, Tonali there, Isak in the area, goes around Warring, left side of the box. Sergio Gomez takes the throw, Calvin Phillips, Joel Luis who almost equalised with that shot just wide a few minutes ago. Oscar Bob with a cross into the middle, this sells the captain and the team that has won the League Cup occasions with a 1-0 victory here at St James' Park, and the draw will be made shortly, Newcastle are in it, Manchester City won't be. Isak's called the difference, John Anderson. Yeah, it was a total game of two halves, Manchester City totally dominated the first half, without really creating a great deal, it was a game of very few chances to be fair.
