Man City beat Chelsea to travel to the FA Cup
Manchester City cruised into the fourth round of the FA Cup with a routine win over a very poor Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium.
It was a far cry from what would normally be a competitive meeting between the two Premier League giants as City settle for a tie with Oxford United or Arsenal in the next round at intervals.
City’s win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Thursday was a tough one, but it was a walkover, Riyad Mahrez getting them going with a fine 23rd-minute free-kick before World Cup winner Julian Alvarez scored twice from the spot seven minutes later. following Kai Havertz’s handball.
Phil Foden scored City’s third after 38 minutes, turning in Kyle Walker’s cross after he was played in by Thursday’s match-winner Mahrez, who grabbed the second from the spot after Kalidou Koulibaly clumsily bundled Foden to the floor.
It’s a chastening day for Chelsea, boss Graham Potter and their traveling support, who chanted the name of Thomas Tuchel, the Champions League manager fired by new owner Todd Boehly in September.
