Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling scored as City advanced to the fifth round of the FA Cup with a 2-0 win over Championship team Cardiff on Sunday. The runaway Premier League leader saw off Bristol City in the semifinals of the League Cup to clinch its first final under Guardiola. De Bruyne’s clever free kick gave City an early lead before Sterling doubled the lead shortly before halftime. With City’s chief creator standing over a free kick 25 yards (meters) out, Cardiff expected him to attempt to find the top corner. Instead, the Belgium midfielder cheekily rolled his free kick under the jumping wall and into the net.
