Summary
Following a 2-0 victory against Peterborough United on Tuesday night, Manchester City will learn their opponents for the Emirates FA Cup quarter-finals on Thursday evening.
Manchester City advanced to the quarter-finals for the third consecutive season, thanks to goals from Riyad Mahrez and Jack Grealish in the second half, as the Blues defeated the Sky Bet Championship’s worst team.
Despite Grant McCann’s side’s poor league run, the Posh put the Premier League champions to the test, coming close to scoring twice in the first half and again early in the second.
On the hour mark, however, Manchester City broke the deadlock when Riyad Mahrez slipped the ball into the far corner after some deft footwork.
In the 67th minute, England midfielder Jack Grealish doubled Manchester City’s lead, sliding home after a stunning long-range assist from Phil Foden.
