Manchester City took another step forward in their defence of the FA Cup on Wednesday, battling to a 1-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough in the fifth round.
City dominated the first period without being at their best. The closest they came to breaking the deadlock before half time came through an unlikely source in Nicolas Otamendi, as the defender planted a header against the bar.
In the second half the holders were much improved and Sergio Aguero struck in the 53rd minute to give them the lead. Despite a late flurry from the home side, City were able to control much of the second period and should have extended their advantage before full time.
