Riyad Mahrez can top most prolific Man City season with FA Cup goalscoring record

Riyad Mahrez is currently the top goalscorer in the FA Cup this season. The Algerian winger scored in City’s 4-1 quarter-final win over Southampton to take his tally to four and will be looking to add to it when Pep Guardiola’s side face Liverpool in the semi-final on Saturday.

Mahrez became the most expensive African footballer of all time when he moved from Leicester to Manchester City for £60 million in 2018. The Algerian had impressed with the Foxes and was instrumental in their unprecedented Premier League title win in 2015.

Guardiola had long been an admirer of the talented winger and added him to his already eyewatering pool of attacking talent. In his four seasons at the club, Mahrez has won the Premier League twice and scored 61 goals in 181 appearances.
