Manchester City could have had 'seven or eight' if it wasn't for outstanding Middlesbrough keeper Brad Guzan, insists Paul Ince

Manchester City would have scored a glut of goals if it wasn't for Middlesbrough goalkeeper Brad Guzan, according to Paul Ince.

City ran out comfortable winners in the end at the Riverside thanks to an early goal from David Silva and a second-half Sergio Aguero strike as they eased through to the FA Cup semi-finals.

Pep Guardiola's side had numerous chances to add more gloss to the result but were thwarted by a combination of sloppy finishing and brilliant goalkeeping from Guzan.
