City Thrashes Salford 8-0 in FA Cup Showdown

Manchester City showcased their attacking prowess with a resounding 8-0 victory over Salford City in the FA Cup third round at the Etihad Stadium. This emphatic win marked a significant turnaround for the team, as it was their third consecutive victory following a challenging period where they managed only one win in thirteen matches, which had seen them drop to sixth in the league standings.

The match was highlighted by a stunning hat-trick from James McAtee, who was instrumental in leading the charge against the League Two side. Jeremy Doku also made a notable contribution with two goals, while Nico O'Reilly, Jack Grealish, and Divin Mubama each added to the scoreline, with Mubama starting in place of Erling Haaland to give the star striker a well-deserved rest. Salford City struggled to cope with the relentless attacking style of Manchester City, and despite a few late chances, including a commendable save from Ederson and a near miss that hit the side-netting, the dominance of City was evident throughout the match.

In addition to the first team’s success, Manchester City’s Under-18 team also celebrated a victory, securing their first league win of 2025 with a 4-1 triumph over Everton. Reigan Heskey stood out with a brace, complemented by goals from Dante Headley and Matty Warhurst, showcasing the depth of talent within the City ranks.
