Manchester City embarrasses Watford in the most one-sided FA Cup Final since 1903 to record a historic domestic treble.

There’s a scene in the majestic science fiction Trilogy Red Rising from Pierce Brown where several men dangle from the ceiling of a dying ship, unable to move, stuck by broken seatbelts, and below, monsters take a turn in feasting on their heads. And that’s what happened when Manchester City faced Watford at Wembley in the FA Cup Final this weekend.

The 138th FA Cup Final equalled the record of the most massive gulf in a scoreline after Pep Guardiola’s side wallopped Watford like a westerly wind whipping a washing line full of waistcoats with a six-nil win.

Not since Bury beat Derby 6-0 in 1903 has Wembley witnessed such an FA Cup thumping, and the win means City became the first club to win the domestic treble of English Premier League (EPL), FA Cup and Carabao Cup.
