Mahrez’s 42nd-minute penalty opened the scoring. The Algeria international then added his second goal in the 60th minute, running through a gap in the Blades’ defence to slot home. Mahrez completed his hat-trick in the 66th minute, finishing off a well-placed cross from Jack Grealish.

Despite Sheffield United’s best efforts, they were unable to find a way past City’s defence. The Blades had a chance to equalize in the opening minutes of the game, but Iliman Ndiaye’s shot was straight at City’s goalkeeper Stefan Ortega. Later on, they were aggrieved when 19-year-old Daniel Jebbison was deemed to have fouled Bernardo Silva in the box, leading to Mahrez’s opening goal.

With the win, Manchester City secured their spot in the FA Cup final, where they will face either Manchester United or Brighton on June 3. City’s journey to the final has not been an easy one, having lost in the semi-finals of the competition for the past three seasons.

The victory over Sheffield United also puts City in a strong position to win a historic treble this season. Pep Guardiola’s side is just 5 points behind leaders Arsenal with two matches in hand in the Premier League title race. They will then face Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

City’s focus now shifts to their midweek Premier League fixture against Arsenal, where they will look to take another step towards securing the title. Sheffield United, meanwhile, will be hoping to bounce back from their defeat and secure promotion to the Premier League when they face West Brom on Wednesday.
