Here are all the highlights from Chelsea and Manchester City’s clash in the FA Cup.

Chelsea hosted Manchester City at Stamford Bridge in the fifth round of the FA Cup tournament on Sunday. These are two teams who have struggled to live up to expectations so far in the Premier League season, particularly Chelsea who parted ways with manager Jose Mourinho, and the FA Cup is a chance for both teams to bring home a trophy.

What looked like a contentious game locked at a 1-1 draw heading into the second half turned out to be a Chelsea barnburner. After Diego Costa got the scoring started in the first half, Eden Hazard turned up the intensity, creating shots and scoring from a free kick. Willian, Gary Cahill, and Bertrand Traore also contributed goals in the second half to extend Chelsea’s lead over Manchester City.

And with that, Chelsea is on to the quarterfinals.

What a win that was! Chelsea superb throughout and rewarded with five great goals and a place in the hat for the quarters! #CFCLive
