Pep's City Cruise Into FA Cup Last Eight


Manchester City advanced to the quarterfinals of the FA Cup, after recording a 5-1 win over Huddersfield Town at the Etihad.
Huddersfield took a surprising lead after
seven minutes as Billing's fine touch set up Harry Bunn, who calmly slotted under Claudio Bravo.
Pep Guardiola's charges controlled the possession from the onset, but were let down by their decision-making in the final third.
City were eventually level on in the 30th minute as Raheem Sterling fired the ball into the six-yard box, where Leroy Sane was on hand to tap home 1-1.
The hosts were then awarded a penalty four minutes later when Nicolas Otamendi was brought down. Sergio Aguero stepped up and made no mistake from the spot, 2-1.
City added a third goal in the 38th minute, as Aguero turned provider to pick out Pablo Zabaleta, who fired home from six-yards out.
Huddersfield should have reduced the deficit 10 minutes into the second half but Lolley managed head over the crossbar from six-yards out.
However, the hosts grabbed a fourth goal in the 73rd minute as Aguero turned home Sterling's low cross at the near post.
Guardiola's charges managed to add a fifth goal in stoppage time, as Kelechi Iheanacho tapped home from close range to round off an emphatic victory.
