Kevin De Bruyne received a birthday surprise at St. James' Park... an offer to join Newcastle!
The Belgian celebrated his 29th birthday by opening the scoring in the FA Cup quarter-finals, coolly converting another penalty to put City in control of the tie.
Raheem Sterling doubled the advantage with a lovely curling effort as both men starred in an impressive showing, which booked the holders’ place in the semi-finals.

Not a chance!
