LONDON : Riyad Mahrez scored a hat-trick as Manchester City snapped their losing streak in FA Cup semi-finals with a 3-0 stroll over second-tier Sheffield United at Wembley on Saturday.
Mahrez then waltzed through some flimsy defending to make it 2-0 in the 61st minute and completed his hat-trick five minutes later with a clinical finish from Jack Grealish's low cross. "He is a huge mentality competitor. Huge ambition to score goals. Scoring at the end of the first half was so important."
It proved a disappointing day for Sheffield United who last won the FA Cup almost 100 years ago, although the Yorkshire club's priority will be sealing promotion back to the top flight after being relegated in 2021. The gulf in class between the two sides was summed up by City's 79 per cent possession and by the fact that Moreno was largely a spectator against a side second in the Championship.
