Manchester City cruised into the FA Cup quarter-finals after fighting back to beat much-changed Championship promotion hopefuls Huddersfield in their fifth-round replay.
Sergio Aguero, Leroy Sane, Pablo Zabaleta and Kelechi Iheanacho scored to dump David Wagner's side out of the FA Cup.
Harry Bunn got Huddersfield off to the dream start when he fired underneath goalkeeper Claudio Bravo. Leroy Sane levelled the tie for Manchester City after half-an-hour when he converted a Raheem Sterling cross. City were awarded a penalty shortly before half-time and Sergio Aguero stepped up to score from the spot. Pablo Zabaleta extended City's lead minutes later and effectively sealed a place in the quarter-finals. Striker Aguero doubled his tally for the evening with 17 minutes to play on Wednesday night.
Substitute Kelechi Iheanacho rounded off City's dominant performance by scoring in stoppage time.
Manchester City will play away at Middlesbrough for a place in the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
After a 0-0 draw in the original tie, the visitors led when Harry Bunn's shot went through Claudio Bravo's legs.
But tap-ins from Leroy Sane and Pablo Zabaleta, with Sergio Aguero's clinical penalty in between, turned the replay in City's favour before half-time.
Aguero swept in Raheem Sterling's cross at the near post for City's fourth, before substitute Kelechi Iheanacho poked in with the last kick of the game.
City's reward is a quarter-final trip to Premier League rivals Middlesbrough on Saturday, 11 March (12:15 GMT).
