Manchester City beat Championship side Saffield United 3-0 in the last four of the EFL Cup at Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday (22), taking the lead in the final and moving one step closer to their goal of winning the Premier League, EFL Cup and UEFA Europa League. City's 32-year old veteran Males was the star of the show, scoring a hat-trick and three goals, stealing the limelight from his teammate Aynin Chalainte.
Due to the weaker opponent, the fact that Man City just finished the UEFA Europa League last time, and the fact that they will fight against Arsenal at the top of the EPL table in the early morning of Thursday (27th), Corteona has made some changes to the regular squad for this match, including the use of the deputy goalkeeper Steven Odiga to guard the goal, and the absence of Stones, Ruben Dyas, Rody Kasjendi, and Chivan Dibny.
However, the Blue Moon still won easily, 15 minutes after the opening wave, Ainin Xalant had a long-distance shot into the net, but before he kicked, the ball license has been blown to stop the game, the tragedy of eating fraudulent hu. In the 41st minute of the battle, Benedetti Schwarz got 12 yards, the last UEFA banquet guest of Ainin Charlotte did not get the main shot, instead of the main shot by Males into the net to open the record.
After the change of sides, Males made a solo performance, driving into the penalty area to make it 2-0. In the 66th minute, Kialisch's cross from the left was headed in by Males, who became the first player to score a hat-trick in the last four of the EFL Cup in the last 65 years since Manchester United's Alex Dyson in 1958, and became the oldest player to score a hat-trick in the top-flight of the EFL Cup since manager Nicolas Gottiella took charge of the top-flight team at the age of 32 years and 60 days.
After the match, the Algerian international said: "It feels very good to score a hat-trick, I didn't play well this time, the most important thing is that we break the fate of the last 4 of the last 3 EFL Cups, it means a lot to reach the final, but now we must focus on the next league match against Arsenal, we have a strong squad, we must continue to move forward.
Manchester City have been impeccable in this year's EFL Cup, scoring 17 goals without conceding in 5 matches, becoming the first team to reach the final of the EFL Cup with a clean sheet since Ewarton in the 1965/66 season, and will compete for the title with the winner of the Brighton v Man Utd match.
