Newcastle v Man City highlights: De Bruyne stars in comeback win

League Two's Newport County will host Manchester United in the fourth round of the FA Cup, having defeated non-league club Eastleigh 3-1.
Aaron Wildig opened the scoring for Newport County in the third minute, but Paul McCallum equalised for Eastleigh soon after the second half started with a well-taken volley.
The underdogs could not hang on and cause an upset, however, with James Clarke restoring Newport County’s lead on the hour.
Will Evans then put the result beyond doubt in the 79th minute, setting up a highly-anticipated clash against United on Sunday, January 28 at Rodney Parade.
Newport County are accustomed to pulling off shock results in the FA Cup, earning wins against Leicester City and Middlesbrough, and a draw against Tottenham Hotspur, in recent years.
At Molineux Stadium, Wolves had to rely on extra-time to defeat Brentford.
The score was 2-2 after 90 minutes, despite Brentford taking the lead twice through Nathan Collins and Neal Maupay.
Nelson Semedo and Nathan Fraser scored equalisers for Wolves, with Matheus Cunha grabbing the winner in the first-half of extra-time. West Bromwich Albion now await in the fourth round.
Premier League team Luton Town had to come from behind to defeat Bolton Wanderers 2-1.
Dion Charles scored in the 11th minute at the Toughsheet Community Stadium, but the League One team’s lead only lasted for four minutes.
Tahith Chong scored the equaliser, before Chiedozie Ogbene hit the winner in the second-half to give Luton a fourth-round tie against Crystal Palace or Everton.
Birmingham City came back against Hull City at St Andrew's, with goals from Jay Stansfield and Koji Miyoshi cancelling out an opener from Jason Lokilo to give the hosts a 2-1 victory.
Up next in the fourth round will be fellow Championship club Leicester City.
Bristol City defeated West Ham 1-0 at Ashton Club to knock the Premier League club out of the FA Cup.
Tommy Conway gave the Championship side an early lead in the third-round replay, and a West Ham comeback became more unlikely when Saïd Benrahma was given a red card shortly after the break for reacting badly to a challenge.
The victory sets up a fourth-round encounter against either Nottingham Forest or Blackpool for Bristol City, depending on the outcome of Wednesday's replay.
