Bernardo Silva is a special player, and no one can deny his extraordinary skills and qualities, but sometimes, even a player of his ilk needs some extra help. And he definitely had a lot of it from Newcastle United players on Saturday night in the FA Cup quarter-final.The match at Etihad was decided in the first half, thanks to not one but two own goals. To put it precisely, Bernardo fired twice – in the 13th and the 31st minute – and the attempts to block his shots ended in a disaster for the visitors as deflected shots fooled Dubravka, who conceded two goals.BERNARDO SILVA WHAT A GOAL WITH HIS WEAKER FOOT UNBELIEVABLE 1-0 pic.twitter.com/ZIwoewt6ds— Ryan (@bernardooooV3) March 16, 2024 GOAL | MANCHESTER CITY 2-0 NEWCASTLE | BERNARDO SILVApic.twitter.com/BO0VWRwB4V— SimplyGoal (@SimplyGoal) March 16, 2024 Those half an hour of football were enough for Pep Guardiola and his side to seal the deal and routinely take the game on a smooth path straight to the end. The blacks and whites showed some signs of determination later in the second half, but they just couldn’t find the way back of the deficit in the pouring rain, confronted with City’s impressive midfield. Not even the absence of Kevin De Bruyne didn’t hurt the Cityzens, who were capable of controlling every bit of the fixture to book a place in the FA Cup semi-final scheduled for the weekend of April 20, and the rivals will be decided by the draw tomorrow night.FA CUPSaturday Wolves – Coventry 2-3 (0-0)/Nouri 82, Bueno 88 – Simms 53, 90+7, Wright 90+10/Man City – Newcastle 2-0 (2-0)/Bernardo Silva 13,31/Sunday 15.45: (1.45) Chelsea (4.50) Leicester (7.00)18.30: (4.00) Man.Utd.
