Mahrez makes Man City history with FA Cup semifinal hat-trick

Riyad Mahrez's hat-trick in the FA Cup semifinal win against Sheffield United was the first by a Manchester City player at Wembley.

He also scored the first ever FA Cup semi-final hat-trick at Wembley - and first in the semi-final of the competition overall since Alex Dawson in 1958 (Man Utd against Fulham).

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

“It means a lot to be in the 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."
