Man City Dismantle Burnley to Reach FA Cup Fifth Round

By Daily Sports on January 27, 2019

Burnley manager Sean Dyche suggested Manchester City could “win everything” this season after the Premier League champions thrashed his Clarets side 5-0 to reach the FA Cup fifth round.

Goals from Gabriel Jesus, Bernardo Silva, Kevin de Bruyne, an own goal from Burnley’s Kevin Long and Sergio Aguero’s penalty gave City an easy win.

“They have elite players and are so clinical,” said Dyche.

“Who is going to stop them winning everything if they’re in that mood?”

Dyche, whose side lost for the first time in six matches, added: “It is very difficult when teams like this play the way they do.

“They are a top, top team and if you catch them on a day like today they punish every mistake you make.”

Pep Guardiola’s team won the Premier League and Carabao Cup last season and are still on course for a quadruple in 2018-19.

They face Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final, play a Schalke side who are in the bottom half of the German Bundesliga in the Champions League last 16, are only four points adrift of Premier League leaders Liverpool and are now into the last 16 of the FA Cup.

After the match, Guardiola said: “We’ve won one title (the Community Shield), we are in another one (the Carabao Cup final), we want to be in the last stages of the FA Cup, arrive in the right moment against Schalke and fight until the end in the Premier League.

“We need everybody together so we can achieve it. There is a desire to play good and always improve.

“Everybody wants to play and you have to play good because the others are at a high level.”

City have now scored 30 goals in seven games in 2019 and won all eight matches since losing 2-1 at Leicester in the Premier League on 26 December. (BBC)
