Manchester City complete historic treble

Sunday, 19 May 2019 08:30

Congratulations are pouring in for Manchester City's owner His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Presidential Affairs, after his team completed a historic treble.

They thrashed Watford 6-0 on Saturday night to win the Emirates FA Cup and become the first English side ever to clinch the domestic treble.

Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus both scored twice as Pep Guardiola's men achieved the biggest Emirates FA Cup final win since Bury beat Derby by the same scoreline in 1903.

Manchester City won the Premier League last week and the Carabao Cup earlier this year.

It makes them the first English men's side to win the Premier League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup in the same season.
