    He had a wonderful position the referee. Chris Basham turned inside Aymeric Laporte and tried to chop it past him. Laporte had a little swipe but I don't think there was any real contact, nothing significant. Basham was always looking for it and went to ground easily. Fair play to him, the referee was quick to say "no penalty".

    I think they've got a very good chance [of doing the Treble]. You want to get to this stage of the season and still be competing for things, they certainly are doing that.

    They've got the experience, they've got the know-how, they've got real quality within this squad just to keep going.

    I'll say this about them: they've found a real run of form at the perfect time as others start to fall away.

    By the way, Pep Guardiola has sent on 18-year-old Rico Lewis. Big moment for the teenager at Wembley. Bernardo Silva has made way.

    Sheffield United have got through a lot of work today. You forget that their priority this season is promotion. This FA Cup run has been outstanding, they've thoroughly enjoyed it. The fans have come hoping that something special could happen, not expecting. It's time to keep everyone fresh for that final push for the Premier League.

    Man City 3-0 Sheff Utd

    A huge week coming up for Sheffield United. They will win promotion to the Premier League if they beat West Brom on Wednesday.

  10. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 76 mins

    Man City 3-0 Sheff Utd

    There's no way back now for Sheffield United so more changes.

    Chris Basham, Ismaila Coulibaly and Jayden Bogle have been sent on.

  11. 'Gundogan is quality'published at 18:22 British Summer Time 22 April 2023

    That substitution is no surprise because of the number of games Gundogan has got through. He's such a quality player, he can play as a more advanced midfielder or in the deeper role he's played today.

  12. Postpublished at 73 mins

    Man City 3-0 Sheff Utd

    Captain Ilkay Gundogan is the latest City player to make way. A good shift by the German. He'll be back at Wembley in six weeks for the final. His replacement is Kalvin Phillips.

    Man City 3-0 Sheff Utd

    Riyad Mahrez has scored the first ever FA Cup semi-final hat-trick at Wembley, and first in the semi-final of the competition overall since Alex Dawson in 1958 (Man Utd against Fulham).

    Erling Haaland and Jack Grealish have come off as Pep Guardiola turns his attentions to next Wednesday's top of the table clash with Arsenal. Cole Palmer has been sent on.

    A stunning hat-trick. Brilliantly struck with the left foot. The goalkeeper gets a hand to it but he just can't get the ball out. Jack Grealish just waits and waits for the gap to appear, waits for the run of Riyad Mahrez. As it all comes together Grealish just passes it into the area, Mahrez arrives right on cue, strikes it so sweetly, puts City 3-0 ahead.

    Three-nil is enough and the time for Pep Guardiola to make his changes.

    Riyad Mahrez

    He's got his hat-trick!

    Gorgeous finish by Riyad Mahrez with a first-time shot but what a lovely pass by Jack Grealish for the assist.

    It's Grealish's last action. This tie is wrapped up and Pep Guardiola is making changes.

    That was quite brilliant from Riyad Mahrez. Poor from Max Lowe, he gave possession to Mahrez. He just drives at the heart of the defence. He's got Haaland running alongside of him, Alvarez trying to make the movement, the Sheffield United back line are distracted.

    John Egan jumps to one side of Mahrez, allows him to run right through the centre. Penalty spot, opportunity to pick his spot. He's full of confidence after scoring the penalty and he scores the second as well.
