Riyad Mahrez stole the show at Wembley in the FA Cup Semi-Final, delivering three goals on the day to breeze past Sheffield United 3-0.

The Algerian, who registered the first goal from a penalty just before the first half, scored again in the 61st minute, and sealed his hat trick in the 66th minute.

This is the first triple since 2020 when City rattled Burnley 5-0 in the English Premier League.

Mahrez hat-trick fires City into the FA Cup final

This was also the first hat trick to be completed at this stage of the FA Cup since 1958.

The 32-year-old has five goals in the competition raising his tally in all competitions to 15 and eight assists, playing 38 fixtures.

Pep Guardiola’s men will shift their attention to the League after the comfortable win when they face Arsenal on Wednesday at the Etihad Stadium.

Sitting at second, the Sky Blues are five points behind the Gunners with two games less than the table toppers.

Women’s World Cup: Waldrum faces Ajibade, Ayinde, Oshoala decision against Australia

But the two former U-20 stars turned out to be the class acts the team had been lacking for so long, demonstrating a tactical discipline that is usually beyond kids of their age.
