"I don't know what to say, I don't want to say too much, because we know how these things work. I saw it, it looked really close to me, but it is what it is.

Manchester City defeated Newcastle United 2-0 in the EFL Cup first leg with goals from Antoine Semenyo and Rayan Cherki. A second City goal was disallowed after VAR ruled Erling Haaland was interfering with Malick Thiaw from an offside position following an on-field review.

Semenyo scored on his debut and became the first player since Emmanuel Adebayor in 2009 to score in his first two appearances for City. City take a two-goal lead into the second leg at the Etihad.
