Man City keep 'quadruple' pursuit alive as everybody wins in throwback FA Cup tie at Newport County
NEWPORT, South Wales -- As Newport's players soaked in the applause at full-time, Pep Guardiola circulated the Rodney Parade pitch until he had shaken hands with each and every one. He had an extra word or two for Padraig Amond -- the striker who had, for a tantalising minute or so, given the League Two side a vision of the impossible.

The surface at Newport's Rodney Parade stadium, also used by two rugby union clubs, has bare and muddy patches in some areas.
