FA Cup Final: Manchester City v Watford preview

Manchester City thrashed Watford at Wembley to win the FA Cup and complete an incredible domestic treble.

It didn’t take long for City to open the scoring, with David Silva beating Heurelho Gomes ahead of the half-hour mark.

Raheem Sterling then doubled City’s lead, with Kevin de Bruyne coming off the bench to add a third.

Gabriel Jesus then scored twice while Sterling added another as City became the first team to win an FA Cup final by six goals since Bury beat Derby County 6-0 in 1903.

City are meanwhile the first English men’s team to complete a clean sweep of domestic honours in a season. Here are our player ratings.
