Manchester City eased into the FA Cup semifinals as they produced a dominant display to win 2-0 at Middlesbrough.
City were on top from the opening moments, with Boro sitting deep and seeing very little of the ball, and needed just three minutes to go in front.
The goal came when Pablo Zabaleta was left all alone to fire a low cross into the area, and although Raheem Sterling was unable to get the important touch David Silva was in the right place to fire in from close range.
Boro tried to respond and, with 15 minutes on the clock, Adama Traore set off on a run down the right only to balloon a poor cross out of play.
