Manchester City’s downing of Sheffield United on Saturday evening saw the Sky Blues secure for themselves an altogether noteworthy piece of English football history.
Pep Guardiola’s troops of course marked their return to action a short time ago.
Amid an ongoing pursuit of a historic treble, the Sky Blues made the trip to Wembley, for an FA Cup semi-final showdown with Championship outfit Sheffield United.
And, when all was said and done in England’s capital, United became the latest victims of the rolling City machine.
Riyad Mahrez proved the star of the show, notching all three Citizens goals, en route to an eventual 3-0 result.
And, as alluded to above, in the process, Pep Guardiola and co. equalled a long-time FA Cup record.
As per statisticians Opta, City, on Saturday evening, became the first side since Everton all the way back in 1966 to advance to the semi-finals of English football’s biggest club competition without conceding a single goal.
Next up for the Sky Blues? A finale showdown with one of Brighton & Hove Albion, or city rivals Man United.
