Riyad Mahrez bagged a hat-trick as Manchester City advanced to the FA Cup final with a 3-0 victory over Sheffield United on Saturday. SLInt MORE:
Pep Guardiola made a host of changes after the UEFA Champions League action midweek, with Stefan Ortega, Kyle Walker, Aymeric Laporte, Sergio Gomez, Riyad Mahrez and Julian Alvarez recalled.
City had to wait until the 20-minute mark for their first sight at goal as Alvarez saw his curling effort pushed away by goalkeeper Wes Foderingham, as Guardiola's side upped the tempo. However, all of Sheffield's hard work was undone five minutes before the break after being awarded a penalty for Daniel Jebbison's foul on Bernado Silva. Mahrez stepped up instead of Erling Haaland and buried the ball into the bottom corner.
The second goal did arrive a few minutes later when Mahrez won possession high up the pitch, skipped past two defenders and calmly slotted home to complete his brace.
