An easy day for Manchester City as they thrashed League Two Salford City Manchester City breezed into the fourth round of the FA Cup with an emphatic 8-0 victory over League Two side Salford City at the Etihad Stadium, powered by a James McAtee hat-trick. Author - Macca Jeremy Doku chipped in with a brace, Jack Grealish ended his lengthy goal drought, and young talents Divin Mubama and Nico O'Reilly also found the net in a completely one-sided affair. City’s ruthlessness was on full display as a much-rotated team delighted their fans with a dominant performance against Salford, a club owned by the famous ‘Class of 92’.  Gary Neville, one of the co-owners and a former Manchester United star , became a target for relentless taunts despite not being in attendance. Meanwhile, his former teammates Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes had to endure all of this from the stands. Another step in our journey but a step too far in our third round debut. #MCISAL pic.twitter.com/PvQ7sJZ9e4 — Salf...

Author - Macca Haaland opened his account with a header just before half-time, then coolly chipped the ball over a rushing Alphonse Areola after latching onto a perfectly weighted through ball from Savinho. Savinho was arguably City’s standout performer. The Brazilian’s early left-wing cross in the 10th minute deflected off Vladimir Coufal, leaving Areola stranded and gifting City the opener. Manchester City looking to boost Champions League hopes Phil Foden rounded off the scoring with City’s fourth, slotting home his second league goal of the campaign. Instead of going for glory on his 400th City appearance, Kevin De Bruyne selflessly set up Foden for the tap-in. West Ham managed a consolation when Niclas Füllkrug converted Tomas Soucek’s cross with 19 minutes left. Howe...

Author - Amy W The visitors had taken an early lead when Alfie May curled in a stunning effort just five minutes into the game. Willum Willumsson set up the move, threading Taylor Gardner-Hickman through on goal. Though Ben Hinchcliffe made an initial save, the ball fell to May, who expertly found the bottom corner. Birmingham had chances to extend their lead, particularly before half-time when a slip from Ethan Pye allowed Willumsson to lead a counter-attack. He played May through, but this time the forward fired straight at the Stockport goalkeeper.

Jack Diamond squandered two chances early in the second half as County’s frustrations mounted. However, the Hatters fina...
