Man City thrash Chelsea 4-0 in FA third round

Chelsea have been eliminated from the FA Cup as they were on Sunday thrashed 4-0 by Manchester City in the third round of the competition.

This has further piled up pressure on Blues manager Graham Potter, who was only appointed in September last year.

City were three up at half-time, thanks to Riyad Mahrez’s free-kick, Julian Alvarez’s penalty and Phil Foden’s tremendous team goal.

Mahrez added his second and City’s fourth from the spot late on to further underline the gulf between the two teams.

Pep Guardiola’s team can look forward to a tie at home to Arsenal if the Premier League leaders overcome Oxford United on Monday evening.

It is the first time this century that the Blues find themselves not among the clubs in the fourth round.

Chelsea have now lost six of their last nine matches in all competitions and have not tasted victory away from home since beating Red Bull Salzburg in October.
