Manchester City kept their quadruple hopes alive with a nervy 2-0 victory over Everton on Saturday evening, progressing to the FA Cup semi-finals.
The first half passed without real incident, as both teams cancelled each other out. Richarlison flashed an overhead kick over the bar, and Raheem Sterling wasted a good chance from a free-kick on the edge of the box, as the two teams headed into the half-time break all square.
Sterling had the best chance of the opening hour, side-footing an effort towards the far corner, but Joao Virginia did superbly to get down and tip the ball around the post to keep Everton level.
The game looked destined to be heading for extra-time, until Aymeric Laporte’s shot was tipped onto the crossbar, and Ilkay Gundogan was on hand to diving header the rebound home. And substitute Kevin de Bruyne wrapped up the victory, firing beyond Virginia to send Man City into the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
