In the third round of the FA Cup, Manchester City hosted lower-division side Salford. Guardiola fielded a somewhat reserve squad, but his team faced little resistance from their opponents.
The match ended in a dominant 8-0 victory, with Jack Grealish scoring for the first time in 392 days.
According to statistical site Squawka, the English international's last goal for City came on December 16, 2023, against Crystal Palace.
In addition to his goal, the 29-year-old also registered an assist. Alongside Grealish, goals were scored by O'Riley, Mubaama, Doku (twice), and McAtee, who completed a hat-trick.
Guardiola's side advanced to the round of 16, securing their third consecutive win after nearly three months.
