City's Win Marred by Controversial VAR Call

Manchester City secured a 2-0 victory against Newcastle in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final tie. However, the win was overshadowed by a controversial decision to disallow Antoine Semenyo's goal in the second half after a lengthy VAR review.

The VAR review, lasting five and a half minutes, concluded that Erling Haaland had interfered with play from an offside position, preventing Semenyo's strike from standing. Referee Chris Kavanagh reviewed the incident multiple times before disallowing the goal.

Despite the setback, City managed to score a second goal deep into stoppage time. Manager Pep Guardiola suggested the controversy would strengthen his team, while captain Bernardo Silva voiced frustration with decisions that have gone against them previously at St James' Park.
