On January 8, the third round of the English FA Cup was held between Manchester City and Chelsea.
The two clubs had met in the Premier League just three days earlier, with City winning at Stamford Bridge and Chelsea winning at Stamford Bridge.
This time, the match will take place at the Etihad Stadium, where the two sides will battle for a place in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
City, with Harland on the bench, outscored Chelsea in possession, but Chelsea, with Thiago Silva on the bench, kept their compact defensive lineup in check, allowing no space for the visitors.
The game remained competitive until a set piece in the 23rd minute. City won a penalty kick from about 23 meters to the right of the goal, and Mahrez’s kick deflected off the head of Gallagher and into the right side of the goal to put City ahead.
Chelsea, who had conceded a goal to Mahrez as in their most recent league match, were awarded a penalty kick by VAR in the 27th minute after the ball hit Havertz’s hand while he was competing for a left CK. Alvarez slotted the penalty into the left side of the goal, and City easily added to their tally.
In the 38th minute, Mahrez made a side change on the right side of the penalty area and fed the inner-lapping Walker. Foden was free in front of goal, and he pushed the ball home to give City a 3-0 lead.
Chelsea, who had unexpectedly finished with no shots in the first half, dropped Havertz and Kovacic in the second half and brought on Zakaria and newly acquired Datolo Fofana, who was a surprise signing for City. Chelsea, who were forced to bring on the 20-year-old talent who had been a surprise addition to their ranks with the club three goals behind, gradually began to create some shooting opportunities in the second half as they continued to be held in possession.
In the 59th minute, City, who were leading, dropped Gomez and Rodri and brought on Cancelo and Calvin Phillips to tighten up the team, which had begun to slacken a bit. Chelsea, wanting a point, brought on Hutchinson and Azpilicueta in the 63rd minute after dropping Cillesh and Jorginho, and tried to turn the tide by bringing on Chukwuemeka in the 73rd minute after dropping Mount.
Chelsea, however, had few shooting chances and were unable to get into the mood to fight back. Chelsea’s supporters chanted for the return of former coach Tuchel, while City kept the ball rolling and looked to add to their lead.
In the 83rd minute, Foden received a pass through the legs of Bernardo Silva and was knocked down from behind by Cribari as he entered the area, earning City another penalty kick. Mahrez sank the penalty to make it 4-0 and the game was over. City advanced to the fourth round after beating Chelsea with a clean sheet in their most recent league match.
