FA Cup: City, Southampton Book Semi-final Places

  Late goals from Ilkay Gundogan and Kevin de Bruyne broke Everton's resistance as Manchester City kept their quest for the quadruple on course by reaching the FA Cup semi-finals for a third successive season. A fiercely contested quarter-final looked like it was heading for extra time as Carlo Ancelotti's side defended resolutely and went close in the first half when Yerry Mina's header was cleared off the line. Despite dominating possession at Goodison Park, City struggled in front of goal for most of the game, with Raheem Sterling's poorly hit shot tipped round the post by Everton's third-choice keeper Joao Virginia. After Pep Guardiola brought on Riyad Mahrez and De Bruyne, they finally breached Everton's well-marshalled defence when Gudogan headed in with six minutes remaining after Aymeric Laporte's shot was tipped onto the bar. De Bruyne then fired in with a crisp shot to ensure their progress in the 90th minute, meaning City have won 25 out of their past 26 games in all competitions. Southampton put their Premier League troubles to one side as they reached the FA Cup semi-finals by brushing past Championship hosts Bournemouth. Nathan Redmond inspired the Saints, who have lost 10 of their past 12 league games, with two goals and an assist. The visitors went ahead when Moussa Djenepo coolly slotted in Redmond's precise pass after a driving run. Redmond's stunning solo goal gave the visitors a commanding half-time lead before he calmly steered in the third. Still to come in FA Cup today, Chelsea takes on Premier League bottom team Sheffield United at the Stanford Bridge by 14:30 while Leicester City welcomes Manchester United to King Power Stadium for the last quarter-finals fixtures by 18:00.
