Mahrez double leads City to the fifth round of the FA Cup

 Manchester City overcame a bad start to beat Fulham 4-1 thanks to Riyad Mahrez's double and reach the fifth round of the FA Cup on Saturday.

The second-tier rivals took a surprising lead through Fabio Carvalho in the fourth minute, before Ilkay Gundogan equalized for the Premier League leaders.

Fulham's resistance ended completely in the 13th minute when John Stones jumped higher than everyone to convert a corner kick from Kevin De Bruyne into the goal, scoring his second goal of the season.

City dominated with a full squad in the second half and created many chances to score two goals, the first of which was a penalty kick in the 53rd minute and the second four minutes later.
