Mahrez 'feeling very good' after Man City hat-trick in FA Cup semifinal win

Manchester City attacker Riyad Mahrez was proud of his hat-trick in their FA Cup semifinal win against Sheffield United.

Mahrez struck all three goals for the 3-0 as he scored the first hat-trick in an FA Cup semifinal since 1958.

He later said: "It feels very good [to score a hat-trick]. The most important thing is that two or three seasons in a row we've come here in the semi-finals and lost. Today, we wanted to make sure we got to the final. I think I had a good game.

"I don't know really which goal was the best. It's a good team achievement and we took the game seriously.

"It means a lot to be in final. We really want to work hard in every competition going. We're in the final of the FA Cup which is amazing. Now we have to concentrate on the league and the next game against Arsenal.

"We have a very good squad and a very good team. We have to keep going."
