JAMES MCATEE was known as the ‘Salford Silva’ as he made his way through the City academy – due to his likeness to club legend David.
So it was appropriate he should take centre stage against the League Two side from down the road.
He bagged a hat-trick as the champions ran riot.
Jack Grealish also scored his first goal since December and Jeremy Doku struck twice as City turned in a ‘Gr-Eight’ performance.
Pep Guardiola has been a resident of Salford for the last eight years – this was quite a way to silence the ‘noisy neighbours’.
