Your support makes all the difference.Manchester City avoided becoming the latest top-flight side to stumble at the hands of League Two Newport County at Rodney Pardade thanks to a late flurry of goal.
The 4-1 scoreline is perhaps a tad harsh on the home side who defended very well, but second half goals from Leroy Sane, and Riyad Mahrez either side of Phil Foden's double was the difference.
Padraig made it 2-1 with just minutes of normal time remaining as Newport threatened to mount a late comeback, but Foden added his second before Mahrez completed the job in added time.
City will learn their opponents in the quarter-final draw on Monday night. Re-live the action below:

A bit of encouragement for Newport, who threaten for the first time in a while. Otamendi is injured in the process of stopping a dangerous move and is down receiving some treatment.

Newport win a free kick in a central position about 30 yards out. Willmott curls it in and Stones heads away, but it's knocked straight back into the box and O'Brien rises highest from a few yards out. Ederson is positioned well to catch it, though.

That's probably game over. Foden collects the ball on the halfway line and drives forward. He beats Butler and hits a shot towards the near post, which Day should save. Instead, it finds its way past the goalkeeper and into the back of the net.

Sane is picked out at the back post and looks certain to add a third goal. But he decides to lay the ball back across goal. There's no one there to receive his pass, though, and Newport clear.

Sane could have had a few goals today. He comes close again, latching onto a ball over the top and attempting to dink his finish over Day. Again, it hits the goalkeeper in the face, but this time it doesn't go in.
