London (B2B) - Tim strata kedua Watford hanya terpaut setengah jam untuk menyingkirkan Manchester City dari Piala FA, Sabtu, sebelum tiga gol Sergio Aguero merusak skenario mereka, saat timnya bangkit mencapai babak 16 besar melalui kemenangan 4-2.
Hanya juara Eropa Bayern Munich yang mampu kembali dengan membawa pulang kemenangan dari markas City, Stadion Etihad, pada musim ini, namun gol-gol dari Fernando Forestieri dan Troy Deeney membuat para penggemar Watford bermimpi timnya bisa mendapatkan hasil spektakuler, seperti dilansir Yahoo News.
Tim asal London itu masih unggul 2-0 pada menit ke-60, namun situasi berubah ketika Aguero menghapus defisit tersebut, Aleksander Kolarov membawa City unggul tiga menit kemudian dan penyerang asal Argentina mereka itu melengkapi trigolnya untuk memelihara peluang pasukan Manuel Pellegrini meraih satu trofi bergengsi.
"Saya ingin mengganti semua pemain saya saat turun minum, ke-11nya," ungkap Pellegrini.
"Seluruh tim merupakan bencana pada babak pertama."
London - Second-tier Watford were half an hour away from a seismic FA Cup shock at Manchester City on Saturday before Sergio Aguero ruined the script with a hat-trick as his side stormed back to reach the last 16 with a 4-2 win.
Only European champions Bayern Munich had returned victorious from City´s Etihad Stadium fortress this season but goals by Fernando Forestieri and Troy Deeney had the Watford fans dreaming of a famous result.
The London side were still leading 2-0 after an hour but eventually succumbed to the siege as Aguero cancelled out the deficit, Aleksandar Kolarov put City ahead three minutes from time and their Argentina striker completed a treble to maintain Manuel Pellegrini´s side´s four-pronged assault on silverware.
"I wanted to change all of my players at half-time, all 11 of them," a relieved Pellegrini said.
"The whole team was a disaster in the first half."
