Bristol City 0-3 Man City: Foden double sees Man City into FA Cup quarter-finals

  /  R47

Phil Foden scored twice as Manchester City saw off Championship side Bristol City to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals.

2022/2023 FA Cup

0-3

Foden slammed in an early opener at the back post from Riyad Mahrez's ball across the six-yard box.

He netted his second from Julian Alvarez's pass, with a first-time effort deflecting past Max O'Leary.

Kevin de Bruyne added a wonderful third from 25 yards into the bottom corner late on for the visitors.

Bristol City, who had been unbeaten in 12 games going back to 26 December, gave a good account of themselves for long spells, with a Mark Sykes penalty appeal waved away and Alex Scott forcing a save from Stefan Ortega.

But treble-chasing Manchester City could have won by more, with Kalvin Phillips hitting the crossbar after just one minute.
