FA Cup Result: Manchester City vs Chelsea 4-0

Manchester City successfully silenced Chelsea with a landslide score of 4-0 in the third round of the 2022/2023 FA Cup, which was held at the Etihad Stadium.

Riyad Mahrez was the star of Manchester City victory by buying up two goals. Meanwhile, the other two goals were scored by Julian Alvarez and Phil Foden, respectively.

This result gives Manchester City the right to qualify for the fourth round or the last 32. The City will face the winner of the Oxford United vs Arsenal match.

Appearing without Erling Haaland, Manchester City immediately tried to play aggressively from the start of the match. Unfortunately, several opportunities have yet to be maximized by the host.

The City only managed to open the scoring in the 23rd minute through Mahrez action. The winger's beautiful free kick from Algeria aimed at the top corner of the Chelsea goal without being able to anticipate Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Five minutes later, VAR awarded City a penalty after Kai Havertz was judged for handball in the forbidden box. Alvarez, who acted as executor, also brought City 2-0 up.

The City increasingly had the upper hand after Foden increased the advantage to 3-0 in the 38th minute. Kyle Walker attractive bait from the right side was successfully scored by Foden.

Returning from the locker room, Graham Potter made changes by entering two players at once, namely Denis Zakaria and new striker David Datro Fofana.

Chelsea was even more daring to come out pressing in the second half. Unfortunately, City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega denied the visitors' chance through Mason Mount's shot.

The City received another penalty in the 84th minute after Foden was fouled by Kalidou Koulibaly in the forbidden box. This time Mahrez became the executioner and succeeded in subduing Kepa.

No other goals were created in the remaining time. The 4-0 score for Manchester City victory was the final result of this match.
