F A CUP: Man City Defeats Birmingham 3-0 To Reach Fourth Round
Badmus Abdulsobur,Oyo
Manchester City eased into the fourth round of the FA Cup Two goals from Bernardo Silva-inspired 3-0 win at home to Birmingham City today.
Pep Guardiola made the somewhat surprising decision to name what was essentially his strongest possible XI, and their superior quality was telling from the start as they quickly raced into a 2-0 lead.
Silva opened the scoring with a gorgeous volley and swiftly doubled City's advantage to cap off a fine move in the 15th minute, before Phil Foden effectively killed off any hopes of a Birmingham comeback before the interval.
City were less deadly in the second period as they failed to add to their lead, but it mattered little as they had no difficulty seeing out a comfortable victory.
