Result: Swansea City 1-3 Manchester City
Date: 10 February 2021
Venue: Liberty Stadium
Manchester City have become the first English top-flight side in history to win 15 games in a row after defeating Swansea 3-1 in FA Cup 5th Round action on Wednesday.
Pep Guardiola made seven changes to his side that beat Liverpool last time out. Raheem Sterling, Ilkay Gundogan, Rodri and Bernardo Silva all retained their places.
Man City came out firing and in the second minute Gabriel Jesus let fly from the edge of the penalty area which was beaten away by Freddy Woodman.
Another attempt from the Premier League club came six minutes later but Gundogan's effort was comfortably held by Woodman.
Jesus then fired over from about eight-yards after another lovely move and cross before Aymeric Laporte headed wide, before Woodman did well to keep out Ferran Torres' minutes later.
The Citizens took the lead in the 29th minute. Swansea keeper Woodman was livid as Walker's low cross into the box somehow found its way into the net after City attackers couldn't connect.
Guardiola's side made the perfect start to the second half. Rodrigo's lovely pass found Sterling in space and unmarked, the skipper showing great composure to fire past Woodman.
And soon afterwards, it was 3-0. There was loads of space for Silva's header to find Jesus who turned and fired into the back of the net.
Swansea got a goal back after substitute Morgan Whittaker showed great skill to spin inside the penalty area and beat Zack Steffen with a precise finish.
In the end, it was a thoroughly professional performance by the visitors, who advanced to the next round with ease.
