FA Cup Report: Crystal Palace v Manchester City 28 January 2017

FA Cup 

Result: Crystal Palace 0-3 Manchester City 

Date: 28 January 2017

Venue: Selhurst Park

Goals from Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane and Yaya Toure saw Manchester City beat Crystal Palace 3-0 in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Pep Guardiola handed a full debut to Brazilian striker, Gabriel Jesus, while Sergio Aguero was dropped completely.

City provided the first real chance after nine minutes when David Silva's close range effort forced Wayne Hennessey into a fine save.

Palace should have went ahead after 31 minutes wen Jordan Mutch picked out Christian Benteke, who headed over the crossbar from close range.

Guardiola's charges eventually broke the deadlock in the 42nd minute, as Raheem Sterling latched onto a pass from Jesus before calmly slotting under Hennessey.

Sam Allardyce opted for a change at the start of the second half, as Benteke was replaced by on-loan Chelsea forward Loic Remy.

City eventually doubled their lead in the 70th minute as Leroy Sane slotted home from close range, after latching on to a pass from Silva.

Guardiola opted to close up shop, and introduced Fernando for Silva in the 82nd minute, before Nolito replaced Sane two minutes later.

City added a third goal in the 90th minute, as Toure curled home a free-kick to seal their passage into the fifth round.
