Manchester City Ease Past Salford Into Cup Fifth Round
Manchester City advanced in the FA Cup with squad rotation, winning 2-0 over Salford, aided by an early own goal and a late substitute strike.
- On Saturday, Manchester City beat League Two Salford City 2-0 at the Etihad to reach the FA Cup fifth round, with an early own goal and a late substitute strike, Guehi.
- City rotated heavily, making nine changes, and Dorrington's sixth-minute own goal reduced the contest's intensity, according to the source.
- Ben Woodburn tested Trafford in the first half, while City substitutes pushed the match late with Antoine Semenyo hitting the post and an offside Omar Marmoush strike.
- Introducing Semenyo and Nico O'Reilly helped manage the squad, and Guardiola will be satisfied as City have a full week to rest before resuming their Premier League challenge.
- Last season's 8-0 result between Manchester City and Salford, part-owned by Gary Neville and David Beckham, contrasts with Saturday's closer 2-0 victory.
