FA Cup: Foden stars as Manchester City advances; Blackburn stuns Leicester
The HinduPhil Foden was in danger of becoming one of the forgotten players at Manchester City this season. Foden scored in each half in City’s 3-0 win at second-tier Bristol City in the FA Cup on Tuesday, helping the team secure a place in the quarterfinals. Kelechi Iheanacho scored his customary FA Cup goal — it’s now 18 in his last 24 appearances in the competition, more than any other player in that time — but Leicester couldn’t grab an equalizer. FULHAM’S SENSATION Manor Solomon scored for a fourth straight game to help Fulham beat Leeds 2-0 and continue its excellent season, in which the London club is also impressing in sixth place in the Premier League. BRIGHTON ADVANCES Brighton advanced to the quarterfinals for the fifth time in its history and the first time since the 2018-19 season, when the team lost to Man City in the semifinals.
