Match Events
26' GOAL! Man City 1-0 Watford (David Silva)
David Silva gets his first goal since the end of December! Watford dilly-dally in midfield and lose the ball.
Sterling nods a loose ball down to Silva in the box. The City legend takes a left-footed shot which wrong-foots Gomes and rolls into the net.
38' GOAL! Man City 2-0 Watford (Jesus)
Bernardo Silva curls in a fantastic ball for Jesus at the back post. Jesus knocks the ball past the onrushing Gomes!
48' OFFSIDE! Jesus' goal disallowed
61' GOAL! Man City 3-0 Watford (De Bruyne)
City find themselves two-on-one. Jesus lays off for De Bruyne who stops, leaves Gomes in the dust, and coolly rolls the ball into the net.
68' GOAL! Man City 4-0 Watford (Jesus)
Jesus gets a deserved goal. Just like De Bruyne's goal, Watford's defensive line is way too high and City punish them by winning the second ball.
De Bruyne feeds in Jesus who dummies then slides the ball past Gomes.
81' GOAL! Man City 5-0 Watford (Sterling)
Bernardo Silva rolls the ball to Sterling at the far post who thrashes the ball high past Gomes into the net.
This truly is a five star City side. They're beautiful and brutal in equal measure.
87' GOAL! Man City 6-0 Watford (Sterling)
Sterling grabs a hat-trick, it's 6-0, and City match the biggest ever winning margin in FA Cup final history! This is unbelievable.
Bernardo Silva finds De Bruyne wide right, the Belgian fizzes in a low cross and Sterling sweeps the ball across Gomes into the far corner.
Match Report
Manchester City clinched an unprecedented domestic treble by winning the FA Cup thanks to a Raheem Sterling-inspired 6-0 hammering of Watford at Wembley, equalling the record for the biggest win in the competition's final.
Pep Guardiola's men needed penalties to beat Chelsea in the EFL Cup final and were run extremely close by Liverpool in the Premier League, but Saturday's triumph was a procession as City rounded off an historic campaign in incredible fashion.
Although the first big chance of the game was created by Watford, a dominant City made them pay just before the half-hour with David Silva's first goal since December and Gabriel Jesus doubled their advantage with 38 minutes on the clock.
Watford's positive start to the second period was futile and ruthless City swept them away in style, as Jesus set up substitute Kevin De Bruyne and then added his second of the afternoon.
Sterling rounded off a glorious day for Guardiola's men by scoring twice in the last nine minutes.

Think I heard the commentator say “Biggest FA Cup final win in history”. Domestic treble is ours and what a great achievement it is. Greatest manager in EPL history said it was impossible, Pep came and proved it wrong. What an incredible season it has been and now we can relax and celebrate. Cmon City!!!🏆🏆🏆👏👏👏

Pep Guardiola is The first coach ever to win English domestic treble, just within 3 seasons. Sir Alex Ferguson 26 years coaching in England never won English domestic treble. Arsène Wenger 22 years with Arsenal fc, never won English domestic treble , yet people still hate Pep for his amazing success at Man City, when he was coming to England they said he will fail, but he has proven them wrong. Breaking records and setting new records in English football. Now their excuse is he haven’t won uefa champion league. What of the coaches who came there before him that haven’t won even a Coca-Cola bottle as a trophy? Anyway when you are successful you attracts more haters. Kudos SIR PEP GUARDIOLA. Even you don’t win the UEFA Cup at Man City you have done what most coaches couldn’t do in the 3 seasons in England.

Pep Man City is like football university, players come out with a masters degree. Every country he coached, his style and philosophy of football influence in that country national team, his time at Barca, most of his boys at Barca dominated the Spanish national team, which won the World Cup, and European cup of nations. At Bayern Munich, most of his boys at Bayern, dominated the German 🇩🇪 national team which won the fifa World Cup, now in England, the English national coach Southgate has applauded 👏👏👏 Pep for the great transformation and improvement to some of the English players. I believe suppose majority of the English players are playing at Man City, it will really Help the English national team a lot.

50 - Manchester City are the first English top-flight side in history to win 50 matches in a single season in all competitions, six more than they managed in 2017-18. Eclipsed. #MCIWAT

I will prefer wenger than pep because wenger doesn't go for the big names. he will players for £2 million and below £10 million and make them great players. and even build some players from the reserve side of arsenal and make them great. he has also won the EPL unbeaten and played 49 EPL matches unbeaten. pep will always used his best team for every match. we don't even know who's pep second keeper. he should handle teams like West Ham, fulham and everton and let's see his performance. he sit down and ask the management to buy him defenders over £ 80 million, midfielders over £ 120 million and strikers over £ 180 million. don't city has a reserve side. build some of them if u really believe in yourself. pep no money no good team.
