That was a definite thing!
Manchester City beat league competitor Chelsea out of the FA Cup and won 4-0 against Graham Potter’s team (47). Kai Havertz (23) makes a significant contribution to the “Blues” bankruptcy.
▶ 30 minutes: When the score was 1-0 for City, Chelsea midfielder Havertz cleared the ball in the penalty area with his fist. Sure thing: Handelfer! World champion and ManCity attacker Alvarez converts the penalty due.
Seven minutes earlier, Mahrez had given the “Skyblues” the lead.
▶ 23 minutes: The Algerian shoots a free kick from almost 20 meters in the top right corner. The wall of the “Blues” deflects the attempt slightly – keeper Kepa has no chance.

Chelsea fright Mahrez has struck again!
The Algerian scored the lead against the “Blues” in the 1-0 win in the league last Thursday. And the winger also scored the first goal in the Carabao Cup in November (2-0 win).
Incredible scene! Totally gaga what the Klopp goalkeeper is doing there
City then plays the guests against the wall.
▶ 38 minutes: Manchester combines superbly. Rodri diagonal ball to Mahrez, who pushes through to Walker. The latter plays the fives, where Foden runs in – 3-0!
Shortly before the end, Mahrez makes everything clear with his second goal (85th), scores after a penalty kick to make it 4-0.
With this victory, Pep Guardiola’s (51) team is pushing Chelsea deeper and deeper into the crisis. Five defeats in the last seven competitive games, tenth in the Premier League, in the League Cup and now in the FA Cup! Now only hope for the Champions League title remains. Borussia Dortmund is waiting there in the round of 16 (first leg on February 15).
