Borussia Dortmund cruised to a 3-0 victory over Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga on Tuesday to bounce back from Friday's frustrating draw at Eintracht Frankfurt and stretch their unbeaten run to 10 league games, Reuters reported. 

Dortmund, who provisionally cut Bayern Munich's lead at the top to eight points, had led twice against Frankfurt on Friday but then needed a stoppage-time equaliser to rescue a 3-3 draw.

They were far more efficient on Tuesday, carving out an early lead when captain Nico Schlotterbeck headed in from a corner in the 11th minute, according to Reuters. 

Manchester City's Antoine Semenyo made it two goals from two games for his new club and Rayan Cherki struck in stoppage time as Pep Guardiola's side beat holders Newcastle United 2-0 away in the first leg of their League Cup semi-final on Tuesday, Reuters reported. 

Semenyo, who joined in a 65 million pound ($87.25 million) deal from Bournemouth this month, got on the end of Jeremy Doku's cross in the 53rd minute to score from close range.

It could have been even better for Semenyo who thought he had put City 2-0 ahead later on but his neat finish was ruled out for a subjective offside decision after a lengthy VAR check, according to Reuters.
