A real shock! Third-Division team defeated Man City`s dream for 4 cups!
The FA Cup tournament brought another surprise to be remembered for years. Third Wigan wins Manchester City 1-0 and ends the Premier League leader hopes to finish the season with 4 trophies. `Citizens` are almost sure champion, they are ahead of the League Cup final against Arsenal, and in the Champions League can now think about the 1/4-finals, but today they failed against a rival that almost did not pass center.
The culprit Northern Irish Will Grig brought Wigan`s huge joy with his goal in the 79th minute, his seventh in this year`s tournament. The striker, for whom fans invented a song and she became a hit during the Euro 2016, used a crude mistake of Kyle Walker and shot Claudio Bravo.
For the loss of City, however, there was another culprit - Fabian Delph. The midfielder made an extremely stupid red card in the added half time. Even then, the `citizens` continued to dominate completely, but made unforgivable gaps, and the hosts patiently waited for their chance and he came. City made a total of 27 strokes and filled 15 corners against Wigan`s none but dropped out. Josep Guardiola visibly frightened after Delft`s red card and entered a verbal dispute with host manager Paul Kuwek. The talk continued in the tunnel, and Pep risked taking a serious punishment for his incessant behavior.
Wigan has already eliminated two elite teams before the `citizens` in the race - Crystal Palace and Bournemouth. In the quarterfinals the third in League 1 will face Southampton.
It is curious that `LATIX` for the third consecutive time beat Man City for the FA Cup, including the final in the 2013 tournament. At the beginning of the game, Aguero missed to find a head after a good centering of Bernardo Silva. The hosts responded with a dangerous attack in which Gary Roberts was late to hit the door of Bravo. There was a mistake on Danilo, but Gris kicked out. By the end of the half-time, Manchester City had permanently settled in the opposing half, and first Eimerik Laporte, and then Fernandinho, did away with the goal. The Brazilian`s pass was brilliant because he received an excellent ball from John Stones but shot high above the door. In the last seconds of the half-time, Fabian Delf entered with the buttons facing Max Power. The situation was in the middle of the field, and Wigan`s footballer managed to protect himself, but referee Anthony Taylor picked up a red card at Delphi and fired Guardiola`s wrath. the Catalan specialist was even more annoyed because at first Taylor seemed to be content with a yellow card. Then Pep exchanged sharp replicas with host coach Paul Kuwek, and they continued their argument in the tunnel. After the break, the hosts almost did not leave their penalty area, and City did not manage to equalize. Guardiola also released Kevin de Bruyne and it seemed that the Belgian would bring the necessary precision at the final predicted by soccer livescore table. After one such Aguero found himself in a good position, but he got the ball badly, and then Wigan goalkeeper Walton saved his weak kick.
