Manchester City victims of FA Cup giantkilling after defeat at League One club Wigan Athletic
WIGAN ATHLETIC 1, MAN CITY 0
Will Grigg was on fire as he ended Manchester City’s dream of the quadruple in one of the major Emirates FA Cup shocks of all-time.
Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering City were humbled by League One Wigan Athletic who progressed to the quarter finals thanks to a late goal from the Northern Ireland international.

Game over in Basel as Ilkay Gundogan scores twice in big Manchester City win

It was game just a quarter of way through this contest in Switzerland as Manchester City raced into a 3-0 lead within 23 minutes through goals by Ilkay Gundogan, Bernardo Silva, and Sergio Aguero before Gundogan’s second half strike effectively put an end to tonight’s match, and perhaps the tie, with a 4-0 away victory at St Jakob Park.
Four-goal Sergio Aguero in one man wrecking mission for Manchester City against Leicester City
MAN CITY 5, LEICESTER CITY 1
It was hard to find suitable superlatives to describe Sergio Aguero’s one-man demolition of Leicester City.
The Manchester City scored four of the goals as he continues to set records.
Aguero, who has 28 goals for the season, became only the fourth player to score 20 times in the Premier League in four successive seasons matching Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry and Harry Kane.
His total of 21 Premier League goals also drew level with Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah with only Harry Kane ahead of them this season with 23.
Raheem Sterling misses open goal as Burnley check Manchester City’s title charge with draw at Turf Moor
BURNLEY 1, MANCHESTER CITY 1
Manchester City’s recent inability to put opponents to the sword quickly and early finally came back to bite them after Burnley chose to be brave and tried to attack their visitors during their visit to a wintry Turf Moor and were rewarded for their efforts.
Raheem Sterling may have complained about recent tackling before this game but the Burnley players didn’t give the referee much cause for concern with their tough tackling as they played a part in cancelling out Danilo’s early goal with a late equaliser by Johann Berg Gudmundsson to earn themselves a point against the league leaders.
The point allowed City to go 16 points ahead of nearest rivals Manchester United ahead of their game against Huddersfield Town.
