'Domestic treble, here we come!'

Lotfi: Manchester City always had it difficult against the Saints. Back in 2017, it took Sterling's 96th-minute goal to win it at the Etihad. In the last game of the centurion season, we had to wait to the 93rd minute for Jesus to score at St Mary's stadium. In 2023, the Treble season, they knocked us out of the League Cup. They were very organised and disciplined defensively, but City always find a way to break defences and get the result. Now, FA Cup aside, let's refocus on the league. Come on, City.

Youssef: On to a fourth FA Cup final in a row - domestic treble, here we come!

Brian: City dug deep and, in doing so, dug out a hard-fought victory. Exciting football and Southampton defended in packs. Space in the Southampton goal area was at a premium. This was end to end in the last 20 minutes and both sets of fans can rightly be proud of a feast of attacking and defensive football. City had the vast amount of possession and their failure to convert this to more goal chances is a concern going into the final stages of two trophies. Pep was obviously concerned and the high number of substitutes in the last 25 minutes was evidence of frustration. However, a win in normal time is a bonus and the squad was primarily injury-free at the final whistle. As it stands, City have one hand on the FA Cup. They do, however, need more goals to win the Premier League. Keep ball won't win the league.
