Man City:Doku (8', pen 69'), Mubama (20'), O'Reilly (43'), Grealish (pen 49'), McAtee (62', 72', 81')

Hosting the 4th division Salford City at home, Man City had the opportunity to extend their winning streak to 3 matches as well as have the best preparation before the Premier League returns next weekend. And coach Pep Guardiola's team played hard, determined to win a ticket to the next round of the FA Cup.

Man City are far behind in the Premier League, so cup competitions are especially important for coach Pep Guardiola's team. The proof is that when they only hosted the 4th Division team Salford City at home, "Man City" still used a fairly high-quality squad, mixed with young players.

With Grealish, Savinho, Doku and McAtee up front, it was no surprise that Man City quickly took the initiative. In addition, Haaland, De Bruyne, Foden and Bernardo Silva sat on the bench, ready to assist when needed.

With the highest determination, it is easy to understand why Man City entered the game quickly and fiercely, making Salford "dizzy". In the 8th minute, Doku brought the opening goal for Man City after Grealish's assist. This goal opened up a "rain of goals" for the Etihad team.

In the 20th minute, young striker Mubama increased the gap to 2-0 with a simple move. In the first half, Man City had another goal after O'Reilly converted Doku's assist in the 43rd minute.

In the second half, Man City attacked even more strongly and scored 5 more goals. Notably, young player McAtee played brilliantly, scoring 3 goals in a row. With a great victory over Salford City 8-0, Man City entered the 4th round of the FA Cup.
