Manchester City punched their ticket to the fifth round of the FA Cup despite underwhelming in their tame 2–0 victory over neighbours Salford City at the Etihad Stadium.
Having witnessed Man City beat Salford 8–0 last season and trounce Exeter City 10–1 in this year’s third round, the expectant home supporters were only treated to one goal during a lifeless first half. Tottenham Hotspur loanee Alfie Dorrington turned Rayan Aït-Nouri’s teasing cross into his own net after just six minutes.
