While the game seemed destined to remain goalless until the half-time break with Sheffield notably keeping the favorites at bay, Man City received its breakthrough in the 43rd minute when Riyad Mahrez scored a penalty.

Going into the second half, it was just one-way traffic as the Mancunians continued to bombard the Blades’ net. Finally, City broke through yet again in the 61st minute when Mahrez dribbled through the Sheffield defense to grab his second goal. Just five minutes later, Jack Grealish supplied a low cross that found Mahrez, who completed his hat trick. This is the first FA Cup semifinal hat trick since Alex Dawson for Manchester United against Fulham in 1958.

The blue half of Manchester is set to face current Premier League leaders Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night when they will hope to get one step closer to launching a successful title defense.

Man City will play the winner between Manchester United and Brighton & Hove Albion in the FA Cup final on June 3.

The win meant that Manchester City won all of England’s domestic competitions this season. No team had ever won the Premier League, the FA Cup, and the Carabao Cup in the same season until Man City did so this year.

In addition, they also won the FA Community Shield last summer, a matchup pitting the winner of the previous season’s EPL and the FA Cup.

While Watford went into Saturday’s final with hopes of upsetting the English powerhouse, it was not to be. Man City, the vastly superior side, dominated the entire game and put the cherry on top on the best season in the club’s history.

Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling both scored braces for Manchester City. David Silva, who scored the opener in the 26th minute, and Kevin de Bruyne, also chipped in a goal.

While he didn’t find the net, Portuguese midfielder Bernardo Silva was also key in the victory, providing two assists to his teammates.

The match, Manchester City’s final game of the season, was representative of the domestic dominance that they displayed throughout the 2018-19 season.

The team will now rest until late July, when their preseason campaign will begin in Japan.
