McAtee hits hat-trick in Manchester City’s FA Cup demolition of Salford
Manchester City’s third win on the bounce was all the sweeter due to their victims having unbreakable Manchester United connections. Salford City, owned by the Class of 92, David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Phil and Gary Neville, Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes, were always primed to be easy fall guys and with 65 places between them and England’s champions, Karl Robinson’s men were cuffed aside as if in an exhibition.
The victory was decorated by a hat-trick from the Salford-born James McAtee and Jack Grealish’s first goal for more than a year, plus two from Jérémy Doku, the second a 69th-minute penalty after the Belgian’s shot was handled by Curtis Tilt. McAtee’s second featured a sharp finish, after receiving Phil Foden’s drilled delivery inside Salford’s area, while his third was a predator’s stab from Grealish’s cross.

“This is why the FA Cup is great,” writes Mary Waltz. “Hellbound Plymouth rising from the dead, shocking a Premier League team. I know that Plymouth will not go far in this tourney, that a PL squad will win the cup. But seeing the occasional David upset a Goliath is brilliant.”

- Leicester thrash QPR 6-2 as Brighton ease past Norwich
With their club legend, Mick Harford, helping to lead the team, Luton, who sacked manager Rob Edwards this week, travelled to Nottingham Forest for a repeat of 1959’s final. And just like that Wembley day, the Hatters departed in disappointment, losing 2-0 at the City Ground.
Ryan Yates, the Forest captain, was the driving force for Nuno Espirito Santo’s team, and scored the first goal for the Premier League high-fliers, a stooping header after a fine cross from Ramón Sosa.
