Manchester City completes the first ever domestic treble in English football in style by beating Watford 6-0 at Wembley to claim the FA Cup
Raheem Sterling was initially credited with a hat-trick, only for his first goal to later be awarded to Gabriel Jesus, who also got two as City ended their 61-game season with 169 goals, beating their own previous best of 156.
Jesus slotted the fourth before Sterling, who was brought up in the shadow of the stadium, took centre stage with two in the last 10 minutes.'A massive dream come true' Other than one early chance for Roberto Pereyra, Watford never looked remotely capable of ending their 30-year winless run against City in their second appearance in the final having lost to Everton in 1984.
The underdogs did have the first clear chance after 11 minutes when Pereyra shot from the edge of the box but Ederson flew off his line to save with his foot and that proved their high-water mark. His hooked shot looked to have crossed the line, but Sterling lashed it into the net to make sure - initially being given the goal before the FA changed its mind an hour after the match.
After also winning the Premier League and League Cup last season, City have now lifted five of the past six available domestic trophies.
