Manchester City’s quest for an unprecedented quadruple carries on into April and will take them to Wembley twice in consecutive weekends. The Carabao Cup finalists are now FA Cup semi-finalists and while City could pocket four trophies in a couple of months, Everton’s wait for any silverware dates back to 1995 and will extend for at least another year. Obdurate opponents were eventually overcome. “An incredible victory,” said Pep Guardiola, who tasted victory for the 25th time in 26 matches. “I will never forget what we did in the last four months. This was the toughest game we played since the last international break.”
