Manchester City player ratings vs Sheffield United: Hat-trick hero Riyad Mahrez tears it up as anonymous Erling Haaland has a rare off day

Riyad Mahrez upstaged Erling Haaland with a dominant attacking performance to fire Manchester City past a dogged Sheffield United and into the FA Cup final.

City had a difficult first half and were frustrated by Paul Heckingbottom's side but found their way through thanks to a clumsy tackle from striker Daniel Jebbison on Bernardo Silva, allowing Mahrez to step up and score after Haaland's spot-kick miss against Bayern.

Mahrez then did everything on his own to double City's lead, running through the entire Blades' team from the centre circle.

He then delivered a fine first-time finish to become the first player since 1958 to score a hat-trick in an FA Cup semi-final and the only Man City player to bag a treble at Wembley.
