FA Cup: Grealish, Mahrez Help Man City Progress Past Petersbrough [VIDEO]

Jack Grealish, Riyad Mahrez scored to give Pep Guardiola's Manchester City a 2-0 win over Peterborough in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Tuesday at Weston Homes Stadium.

The EFL bottom-placed Petersborough could not withstand the attack threats from EPL leaders Man City for long as ended up conceding two goals despite holding a goalless first half.

Once the second half got underway, Guardiola's men took 15 minutes to make the breakthrough with Mahrez's footwork which carved Petersborough's defence apart.

A little step over to put his marker in disarray before sending a low ball through his leg into the back of the net.

The Algerian winger took his tally for the season to an impressive 19 goals in just 32 appearances.

Grealish has had a far less productive season since his £100-million move from Aston Villa.

But he marked his return from injury with a sublime touch to control Phil Foden's long through ball before slotting past Steven Benda for his fourth City goal.

Manchester City will now brace for the derby on Sunday against local rivals Manchester United as they try to keep a stronghold on the top spot.
