Manchester City defeated Salford City 2-0, a team from the fourth tier of English football, and advanced to the round of 16 of the FA Cup. The goals for the 'Citizens', who are coached by Spaniard Pep Guardiola, were scored by Englishmen Alfie Dorrington (own goal) and Marc Guéhi. Manchester City quickly took control of the match, opening the scoring in just the sixth minute thanks to an own goal from Dorrington, who unfortunately put the ball into his own net while trying to clear a cross from Algerian left-back Rayan Ait Nouri. Towards the end of the game, in the 36th minute of added time, the final 2-0 score was confirmed after Guéhi was left unmarked in the area to score following a series of rebounds. According to the Argentine News Agency, this victory allows Manchester City to advance to the FA Cup round of 16, where they could face Aston Villa, which features Argentine players Emiliano Martínez and Emiliano Buendía, who are currently playing against Newcastle. The other teams that advanced to the round of 16 on Saturday were West Ham, Southampton, Mansfield, and Norwich. Later, at 17:00, the day's final match between Liverpool and Brighton will be played.
