Notts County ended their 11-year wait for a return to League One with a commanding 3-0 victory over Salford City in the League Two play-off final. Influential performances from Alassana Jatta and Jodi Jones ensured a miserable afternoon at Wembley for Salford's high-profile co-owners.
Manchester City may have secured their passage into the FA Cup fifth round, but manager Pep Guardiola was left far from impressed by what he witnessed at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. Despite a 2-0 victory over League Two outfit Salford City, the Catalan coach offered a scathing assessment of his side's display, labelling the performance "flat and slow and not good." It was a result that got the job done, but the manner of the victory left much to be desired for the reigning Premier League champions.
It's just as well Manchester City once again spent big during the January transfer window, as Marc Guehi and Antoine Semenyo were needed off the bench to help Pep Guardiola's men overcome Salford City in a surprisingly competitive FA Cup fourth-round clash at the Etihad on Saturday afternoon. Despite being gifted an early lead through Alfie Dorrington's own goal, City struggled horribly to break down their League Two opponents, while at the same time giving the visitors a couple of clear sights of goal.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has revealed just why he loves the FA Cup as he prepares to face League Two side Salford City in the fourth round of the competition on Saturday.

Former Chelsea and Liverpool striker Fabio Borini has revealed he wanted to sue former club Sampdoria as they did not feed him during a lean patch in his career. Borini's revelations come just weeks after his surprise return to English football with Salford City, who are owned by members from Manchester United's 'Class of '92'. Back on English shores, the Italian will be looking to rebuild his career and rediscover his love for the game after what he describes as one of the darkest periods of his life.
Salford's game against Oldham on Saturday was disrupted by pitch invaders carrying England flags as a protest against Gary Neville. Neville criticised the "negative" use of the flag earlier this month as people in some communities hang Union Jack and St. George's cross flags from lampposts. The Sky Sports pundit believes the intent of those flying the flag is to sow division.
David Beckham and Gary Neville have stunned English football by completing the signing of former Liverpool and Sunderland forward Fabio Borini for Salford City.

Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs has reportedly left his role at Salford City as he seeks a return to management.

But their new ownership group raised nearly £30m to rescue Salford.
Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign 17-year-old striker Will Wright from Salford City, beating competition from Arsenal. Reports suggest the total package could reach approximately £200,000, with further performance-related add-ons included. His contract will run until 2028.
