That's kind of you to say so and thanks. I've made a start but I need to be elsewhere. I've checked the images and they are fine. Back later.

Ah, sorry, that was me thinking they were errors and didn't realise how many were affected. I've restored them. Will have to go again but I think I should be able to finish this one later today.

Review
I've completed minor amendments as I've seen them to save time here and I think the article is now very close to meeting the criteria. I have four questions affecting structure and coverage (see above) that will need your attention:
Manchester City were still without long-term injured
Benjamin Mendy but both
Fernandinho and De Bruyne were available for selection. This sentence needs a citation and an explanation for the availability of Fernandinho (who didn't play) and De Bruyne – had they been injured too and was it long term, or had they been suspended?
Both the first half and second half sections need splitting into three or perhaps four paragraphs because they are solid blocks of text without breaks that would be daunting to a reader who is unfamiliar with football. I would break at "In the 21st minute" and "In the 26th minute" for first half. Second half, I would suggest breaks at "In the 55th minute", "In the 65th minute" and "In the 81st minute".
City scored 26 goals during the season's FA Cup campaign, the most by any winning team since the 1925–26 FA Cup. Could you please clarify "winning team" as I'm sure City themselves established the most goals record in 1926 but were runners-up to Bolton?
As you're a frequent user, I'll leave this as is for a day or so without putting it on hold. It's nearly there and I've enjoyed reading it. All the best and stay safe.

Hello again and well done because I'm happy to pass this now. Slight misunderstanding on my part about the competition goals record because you mean the most by a Cup-winning team. By coincidence, it was City who scored a then-record (not sure if it's been beaten) 31 goals in the 1925–26 competition but they didn't win the Cup that season. For what it's worth, I think Vincent Kompany's retirement is a massive loss for City that's been evident this season whenever things have gone wrong, though they're still the only team that can challenge Liverpool. Anyway, well done again and I'll do the necessary to list this at GA. All the best and keep safe.

Probably because he didn't score one? I don't know how an old revision of the page is proving anything as we all know Wikipedia isn't a reliable source.

But should we consider the confusion over the awarding (or not) of the hat-trick to be worth mentioning, especially given the rarity of an FA Cup final hat-trick? Obviously the hat-trick itself isn't notable as there was no hat-trick. --
