FA Cup: Man City thump Fulham 4-0

Holders Manchester City eased into the fifth round of the FA Cup on Sunday with a comfortable 4-0 win over ten-man Fulham.
The Cottagers made a disastrous start when Tim Ream pulled back Gabriel Jesus inside the box, earning himself a red card and giving away a penalty inside ten minutes.


Ilkay Gundogan dispatched from the spot to make Fulham’s already colossal task even harder, and City put hopes to bed 10 minutes later when Bernardo Silva found space outside the box to rifle home for 2-0.
The hosts missed several chances to kill the game off, as Riyad Mahrez and Phil Foden scooped over from close range before substitute Raheem Sterling whacked the crossbar.


And while City boss Pep Guardiola cut a frustrated figure on the touchline, City finally got the job done as Gabriel Jesus scored a quickfire brace with two headers to ensure City avoid a perilously exhausting replay.
