FA Cup: Man City Makes History After Qualifying for Round of 16 Stage

January signing Marc Guehi scored his first goal as Manchester City defeated League Two Salford City 2-0 to reach the FA Cup fifth round, aided by a Salford own goal.

  • On Saturday, Manchester City beat League Two Salford City 2-0 to reach the FA Cup fifth round, with January signing Marc Guehi scoring his first goal in the 81st minute.
  • Guehi's inclusion came after FA Cup rule changes left him no longer cup-tied, and Pep Guardiola introduced Rodri, Antoine Semenyo, Marc Guehi, and Nico O'Reilly in the second half to regain control.
  • An early Rayan Ait-Nouri cross led to an Alfie Dorrington own goal, and James Trafford saved Ben Woodburn's shot late to preserve City’s lead.
  • Replays suggested Omar Marmoush was onside, but VAR and Semi-Automated Offside Technology are not in use until the fifth round, leading to protests from Guardiola to the linesman.
  • Changes to FA Cup rules and recent shocks, like Mansfield Town's 2-1 upset of Burnley, underline the competition's unpredictability, despite City’s 8-0 win last year.
