It was a day to forget for Heurelho Gomes who conceded six goals in the last game of his Watford career.
The veteran looks set to retire at the end of the season, but was given a chance by Javi Gracia to end his career in FA Cup glory.
Unfortunately Manchester City had other ideas as they ran riot at Wembley Stadium.
The decision to start Gomes in such a big game was questioned by many, including Alan Shearer, who thought that regular number one Ben Foster should have been handed the jersey for such a historic game in the club's history.
Speaking ahead of the game, he said: "I don't think it is the right decision to play him.
"I understand the sentiment, I understand that he's a professional and he's had a very good career but obviously he's not their number one goalkeeper, he's not their best goalkeeper.

"Ben Foster is because he's played in every single Premier League game. Gomes has played the five FA Cup games and two League Cup games that they've played, so seven in total. I think it's a huge gamble.
"It's their chance to make history and I think they should be putting their best team out. If they were, he wouldn't be in that."
Ian Wright added: "It's alarmingly obvious that he's played five games.

"It's not enough to go into a game of this stature, but with my Watford head it's his last game and he could go out a complete hero or it could blow up in his face. I hope he goes out as a hero."
