Manchester City 2-1 Sheffield Wednesday: Milner late double wins it for Pellegrini's men

Manchester City left it late to beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 in the FA Cup third round.

The reigning Premier League champions were put under pressure early on when Stevie May aimed a pass from the right into the path of Atdhe Nuhiu, who buried a first-time shot past Willy Caballero.

The Owls were excellent in the first half and good value for their lead but the introductions of Samir Nasri and David Silva on the hour changed things for City, who soon saw the two combine for Silva to then set up James Milner for the equaliser.

Manuel Pellegrini's men had to wait for the breakthrough but it eventually came through Milner's second in stoppage time, a tap-in from Nasri's cross that left the Championship side deflated after a game which they did not deserve to lose.
