Steve MacKenzie holds the record following his feat in the final of the 1981 edition against Tottenham Hotspur.
Having been teed up by Mateo Kovacic, Lewis put Pep Guardiola’s men ahead in the second minute before Croatian star Josko Gvardiola doubled the advantage in the 51st minute.
Thanks to the result, Manchester City have qualified for the final of England’s oldest football competition and they will square up against Crystal Palace for the title.
