How much did Manchester City receive in prize money after reaching the FA Cup fifth round? Many have been asking after Friday’s 1-0 win over Tottenham.
A late goal from Nathan Ake in north London fired Pep Guardiola’s FA Cup holders into the fifth round as the Citizens aim to defend the trophy this season.
So, how much did Manchester City make in FA Cup prize money after beating Tottenham? Let’s take a look…
How much Manchester City received in FA Cup prize money
Well, the money is hardly going to be as life changing for Manchester City as it will be for Maidstone United – to give an example – but it is a welcome cash injection nonetheless.
Manchester City have received £120,000 after reaching the FA Cup fifth round – as shown on the FA’s official website.
It comes after the Citizens also received £105,000 for the 5-0 win over Huddersfield in the FA Cup third round.
Should Manchester City overcome Luton and reach the quarter-final stage, a total of £225,000 in prize money will be awarded to Guardiola’s side.
Whoever wins the famous competition will receive significantly more in prize money – £2m to be exact, with £1m going to the runners up.
Manchester City already know how hard FA Cup 5th round will be
Manchester City have already faced Luton at Kenilworth Road in the Premier League this season, and it was not an easy afternoon.
Goals from Bernardo Silva and Jack Grealish helped Manchester City come from behind against the Hatters, who took a 1-0 lead thanks to a towering header from Elijah Adebayo.
Despite picking up all three points, it was a far from convincing victory by the Citizens, so Guardiola surely won’t underestimate Rob Edwards in this FA Cup fifth round clash – to say the very least.
