LONDON -- Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham eased into the fifth round of the FA Cup on Saturday, as the English Premier League title contenders showed their strength in depth.

Though many fringe players got a rare chance to start, none made more of the opportunity than teenager Kelechi Iheanacho, who scored a hat trick as City swept past Aston Villa 4-0.

Alexis Sanchez scored one goal and made the other in Arsenal's 2-1 home victory over second-tier side Burnley.

Nacer Chadli scored twice as Tottenham eased to a 4-1 victory in the early kick off at Colchester United, after a clash of heads left one of the home side's defenders in hospital.
