Foden strikes brace as Manchester City thrash Bristol, land in FA Cup quarter-final

Manchester City saw off plucky Bristol City to reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup with a 3-0 victory at Ashton Gate.

Phil Foden scored twice and Kevin De Bruyne added late gloss as the six-time FA Cup winners ended Bristol City’s unbeaten 12-game run before a capacity crowd in the West Country.

After the game, Man City boss Pep Guardiola praised Foden, telling ITV Sport: “Dynamic, rhythm, work rate, he’s quality. His career was always up, up, up. This season he struggled a bit and was a bit down. But now he’s back for the best bit of the season.
