Manchester City Defeats Salford 8-0 in FA Cup

In a commanding FA Cup performance, Manchester City defeated Salford City 8-0, with Jack Grealish finally ending his 392-day goal drought by scoring a penalty. Grealish's last goal was on December 16, 2023, and he has been criticized for his lack of scoring since then. Young talents James McAtee and Divin Mubama also shone, with McAtee netting a hat-trick and Mubama scoring on his debut. Guardiola praised McAtee, highlighting his long-standing connection with the club and his potential. This match marked City’s largest FA Cup win since 1933, showcasing the depth of their squad despite resting several key players. The victory served as a reminder of City's emerging talents against a Salford side owned by the famous Class of 92.
