Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wolverine GTR" data-source="post: 24106536" data-attributes="member: 158020">Manchester City 9 Burton Albion 0:  Jesus grabs four as City cruise past Brewers   <img src="https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2019/01/09/20/8326772-6574423-image-a-66_1547065624546.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   Gabriel Jesus grabbed four goals as Manchester City all but secured their  place in the EFL Cup final with a crushing 9-0 first-leg victory over Burton  Albion on Wednesday.   The Premier League champions have now put 16 goals past lower-league  opposition in the past four days, Pep Guardiola's men having thrashed Rotherham  United 7-0 in the FA Cup on Sunday.Kevin De Bruyne's first headed goal in  English football set the hosts on their way, with Jesus adding a quickfire  double before Oleksandr Zinchenko fortuitously opened his City account.  Jesus took his tally to four either side of Phil Foden's tap-in, before  Kyle Walker and Riyad Mahrez completed a miserable night for Burton's cup  heroes.   It took City five minutes to unlock the Burton defence, David Silva's  pinpoint pass picking out De Bruyne's run and the Belgium international made no  mistake with his header.    Despite falling behind Burton rallied and Marcus Harness should have  equalised in the 12th minute, but Saturday's hat-trick hero blazed Lucas Akins'  cross over the bar.   City's control of proceedings was never under threat, though, and in the  space of seven minutes the hosts were four goals ahead as Jesus and Zinchenko  struck.Having pounced on a loose ball after Leroy Sane's shot was saved by  Bradley Collins, Jesus doubled his tally from Silva's pass – the striker taking  his time before slotting it in off the post.   City's fourth was harsh on the visitors as Zinchenko's attempted cross looped  over Collins, but there was no doubting the quality of Jesus' hat-trick goal as  he converted Mahrez's cross to the back post.    Four minutes after replacing the impressive De Bruyne, Foden had his second  Etihad goal in as many games, the youngster profiting after Jesus had been held  up by Burton's defenders.Jesus would not be denied a fourth moments later,  though, as Sane beautifully controlled Mahrez's pass on his chest before finding  the striker, who applied the finishing touch.   After setting up Walker for City's eighth, Mahrez completed Burton's misery  with a goal of his own, the Algeria international poking the ball past Collins  to round out a one-sided semi-final encounter.</blockquote>
