Manchester City tend to show mercy upon their opponents after moving into a healthy enough lead, but Exeter City felt the full brunt of the Sky Blues’ frustration at the weekend.
A draw-laden start to 2026 meant the Cityzens vented during their FA Cup third round tie, refusing to slow down at four, five or six. Instead, they ran the score up to 10 against League One opposition, with Rico Lewis’s second of the game in stoppage time helping them to double digits.
