The third round of the FA Cup continued today (Sunday), when Manchester City jumped over Chelsea and easily defeated them 0:4 in a game that was one-sided throughout.
Even before the game, the draw for the next round was held in which it was determined that the winner of the game is expected to host the Premier League leader Arsenal, assuming that they will not have any difficulties tomorrow against Oxford United from the English First League.
Fulham and Manor Solomon will host Sunderland and in another intriguing match Brighton will host the winner of the rematch between Wolves and Liverpool.
Manchester United will host Reading and Tottenham will host Preston.
Pep Guardiola decided to rest a significant part of his stars, but this did not prevent his team from easily beating the Blues.
In the 23rd minute, City took a well-deserved and beautiful lead after Mahrez curled a free ball from 25 meters over the Chelsea wall, and a helpless Kaffe saw the ball fly into the posts.
After 9 minutes the advantage was doubled with a goal by Alvarez from a penalty after Alvarez went up for a high ball with his hand and after the VAR referees intervened, the referee pointed to the white spot.
In the 38th minute, Phil Foden also joined the celebration in blue: City's link players gave themselves to each other from side to side, until Herz entered the box, with a small touch he found Walker who came from behind and the defender passed a cross to Foden who from close range made it 0:3 for City.
Five minutes into added time, City received a penalty and Mahrez completed a brace from the penalty spot.
