Manchester City Thrash Sporting Lisbon In Last 16 First Leg

Manchester City put up a good game as they scored five goals against sporting Lisbon in champions league last 16 tie.

City are unbeaten in their last 13 games in all competition, a hot streak that now includes 12 wins.
Sterner tests will await City later in the competition but this was a significant statement of intent that will have been heard all around Europe.

City doubled their lead 10 minutes later when Silva executed a stunning half-volley into the net off the crossbar after a cleared Sporting header from a corner.
The Premier League side grabbed a third just after the half an hour mark when Foden bundled home from close range while Silva made it 4-0 before the break.
It is the first time an English side has scored four goals in the first half of a Champions League knockout game since Manchester United’s 7-1 thrashing of Roma in 2007.
