Pep Guardiola's in-game decisions give Man City title race advantage amid Arsenal chaos

manchestereveningnews.co.uk

It was a comfortable afternoon for Manchester City on Saturday, with three goals from Riyad Mahrez enough to book their place in the FA Cup final.

Iliman Ndiaye fired an early effort at Stefan Ortega inside 90 seconds but Sheffield United did not test the City goalkeeper in the 88 minutes that followed.

Pep Guardiola's side enjoyed 79% possession and racked up 746 passes, with their opposition mustering just 209. Mahrez handed City a deserved lead from the spot before the break and then fired home two more inside five second-half minutes.

It was game over by that point, with another 22 minutes plus added time to play.
