It wasn't as simple as the result suggests, but Manchester City routinely reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
"Citizens" defeated Southampton 4:1 at "St. Mary's", and achieved a convincing triumph in just over 15 minutes.
After 1:1 at halftime (Sterling's goal, then Laporte's own goal), City took the lead again in the 61st minute when Jesus forced and De Bruyne scored a penalty.
In the 75th, Foden made it 3:1 with an effective goal, and in the 78th, Mahrez set the final score.
City thus joined Chelsea and Crystal Palace in the semi-finals.
The Blues were better than Middlesbrough yesterday (2:0), while Palace easily beat Everton (4:0).
Chelsea and Palace will be rivals in the semi-finals.
City is waiting for a better one from tonight's duel between Nottingham Forest and Liverpool (19).
