Mahrez magic keeps Manchester City on treble trail

Riyad Mahrez fired Manchester City into the FA Cup final as the Algerian's hat-trick sealed a 3-0 win against Sheffield United at Wembley on Saturday.

Mahrez's superb display dispatched the second-tier side, ensuring City ended a run of three successive FA Cup semifinal defeats.

The 32-year-old shattered the Blades' resistance with a penalty late in the first half and completed his treble with two clinical finishes after the interval.
