Bernardo Silva netted twice as Manchester City secured a 2-0 victory over Newcastle, booking their spot in the FA Cup semi-finals on Saturday. Meanwhile, Coventry staged a remarkable comeback, scoring twice in stoppage time to stun Wolves 3-2.

Manchester City, the defending champions, extended their unbeaten run to 22 games across all competitions. Silva capitalized on deflections to beat Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka twice, putting City in control. Despite Dubravka's fine saves, Newcastle couldn't find a breakthrough, leaving their hopes of silverware dashed.

Coventry's journey to the semi-finals marks their first appearance since their 1987 triumph. Ellis Simms controversially opened the scoring for Coventry before Wolves mounted a late surge with two goals. However, Simms struck again in stoppage time, setting up Haji Wright for the winner, amidst controversy over manager Mark Robins' celebrations.

Robins, acknowledging the emotions of the FA Cup, apologized for his actions towards a ball boy. Coventry's rise under Robins has been remarkable, considering their fall to the fourth tier just a few seasons ago. Despite their underdog status, Robins remains realistic about their chances against potential opponents like Manchester City or Liverpool in the semis.

Sunday's quarter-final fixtures promise more excitement, with Liverpool facing Manchester United and Chelsea hosting Leicester City.
