Telepathy was the buzzword as Erling Haaland and Kevin de Bruyne restored Manchester City's network connections and swept the FA Cup holders into the last eight once again.
The finest double-act in English football at present, purring after an enforced separation for all to enjoy with the possible exceptions of Rob Edwards and his Luton Town players, who must face them again in April at the Etihad Stadium.
Haaland and De Bruyne in tandem are a destructive force. Very good when apart but better together as Pep Guardiola knows.
