It was a game that from the very beginning went in the direction of victory for the champions of England, and in the eighth minute Jeremy Doku scored for the home team 1:0. Only 12 minutes later the lead was doubled, when forward Divin Mubama scored a goal in his debut for City.
By the end of the first half, Nico O’Reilly scored another goal, who was the scorer in the 43rd minute. In the continuation of the game, Jack Grealish scored a penalty in the 49th minute and thus scored his first goal after more than a year. The last time he was a scorer was in December 2023, when he scored in a Premier League game against Crystal Palace.
In the 62nd minute, James McAtee scored a new goal for the hosts, and the same player scored 10 minutes later. Between those two goals, Doku was also among the scorers again, who converted City’s second penalty. McAtee was the scorer again in the 81st minute and set the final score with that hat-trick.
The rest of the third round matches will be played on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Previously, Wolves, Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest, Fulham, Everton, Aston Villa, Brighton, Leicester, Liverpool and Chelsea secured passage to the fourth round from the Premier League.
