Manchester City 0-2 Middlesbrough: Bamford & Kike seal famous Boro win

Middlesbrough produced one of the biggest shock of the FA Cup thus far after knocking out Premier League champions Manchester City on Saturday.

Manuel Pellegrini made four changes for the visit of the Championship side, with Sergio Aguero continuing his return to fitness, but the hosts were lacklustre for the majority with a mix-up in defence handing the game to the visitors.

Fernando over-cooked a backpass to Willy Caballero, which the goalkeeper just manages to clear only for the midfielder to hit his own clearance straight into Patrick Bamford.

As City pushed for a late equaliser, Middlesbrough, who were successful on the counter all game, put the game to bed as Kike slotted home in stoppage time.
