The FA Cup returns with the third round this weekend!
Manchester City kicked off the third round as they took on West Ham United away last night in a game that ended 5-0 to City. A first half penalty converted by Yaya Toure in the 33rd got the ball rolling and by half time the score read 3-0 thanks to another two goals from David Silva and an own goal from Havard Nordtveit. It was to be more of the same in the second half as Sergio Aguero put City 4-0 up by the 50th minute. Stones opened his City account as he put the icing on the cake when headed the ball over the line for City’s 5th and final of the night.
Spiderman to the rescue?!
It was all out action at the Olympic Stadium last night that even saw Spiderman make an appearance! Unfortunately not even Spiderman could save West Ham United as their home woes continue…
