Following are the results of the FA Cup quarter-finals (in WIB, the hosts are named first):. @ DeBruyneKev 💬 We started the game really well, really sharp and put them under pressure. We didn't give anything away apart from one chance in the second half. We should have scored more but played really well and created enough chances to score a lot. 🔵 #ManCity #FACup pic.twitter.com/VvmMEjJ4Jr
