Manchester City Ease Past Salford Into Cup Fifth Round
Manchester City advanced in the FA Cup with squad rotation, winning 2-0 over Salford, aided by an early own goal and a late substitute strike.
- On Saturday, Manchester City beat League Two Salford City 2-0 at the Etihad to reach the FA Cup fifth round, with an early own goal and a late substitute strike, Guehi.
- City rotated heavily, making nine changes, and Dorrington's sixth-minute own goal reduced the contest's intensity, according to the source.

- Last season's 8-0 result between Manchester City and Salford, part-owned by Gary Neville and David Beckham, contrasts with Saturday's closer 2-0 victory.
