Manchester City Knock Chelsea Out of FA Cup with 4-0 Win
Blues' FA Cup Hopes Dashed After Second Defeat to Man City
Citizens Aim for Consecutive FA Cup Finals
Manchester City continued their dominance over Chelsea, defeating the Blues 4-0 in the third round of the FA Cup. The victory marked the second time in four days that City had triumphed over Chelsea, having previously beaten them 1-0 in the Premier League. The result piles the pressure on Chelsea manager Graham Potter, who is facing increasing scrutiny after a disappointing run of form.
Manchester City were in control from the start, with Riyad Mahrez opening the scoring in the 23rd minute. Julian Alvarez doubled the lead just before halftime, and Phil Foden added a third in the 53rd minute. Mahrez then completed the rout with his second goal of the game in the 85th minute.
The victory was a statement of intent from Manchester City, who are looking to reach the FA Cup final for the second consecutive season. They will now face Oxford United in the fourth round, while Chelsea's hopes of winning the competition have been ended.
