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.

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