After a super 2-0 first leg win at St James’ Park, the Blues set about the tasking of reaching another Carabao Cup final straight from kick-off.
Fast, direct and ruthless, Omar Marmoush bagged two in the first-half hour and Tijjani Reijnders added a third on 32 to give City a commanding 5-0 lead overall.
Anthony Elanga pulled one back after the break but it was too little, too take in a pulsating encounter.
