MAHR OF THE SAME

Riyad puts the boot into Potter's Blues

MAN CITY......2 

CHELSEA.........0

RIYAD MAHREZ helped pile on the pain for Graham Potter with a stunning second-half strike.

The Algerian star broke the deadlock with an impressive free-kick before Julian Alvarez added a second to book Manchester City’s place in the fourth round and increase the misery for Chelsea boss Potter.

The cup KO will ratchet up the pressure on Potter, whose side have now won just two of their last seven games.

City, meanwhile, continue to breeze along at a canter on their quest to reclaim a trophy Pep Guardiola won four times on the spin prior to Liverpool taking it off them last season.
