But it might not have been so straightforward.
Against all odds, fourth tier Newport County made a strong start to the game and the first big save was – unexpectedly – made by City stopper Ederson.
A hopeful long throw found Tyreeq Bakinson at the far post. And he must have thought he’d scored.
Ederson had other ideas.

Goals from Leroy Sané and Phil Foden put the Premier League side ahead after the break.
Newport had a brief moment of hope as Pádraig Amond scored with two minutes remaining but their dreams were soon dashed again as Foden netted to restore the two-goal lead.
Riyad Mahrez then added a fourth in injury time.
