Sergio Aguero scored twice as Manchester City survived an early scare to romp into the FA Cup quarter-finals with a 5-1 home victory over second-tier Huddersfield Town in a fifth-round replay yesterday.

Manchester City, third in the English Premier League table, fell behind after seven minutes when Harry Bunn drilled an effort beneath goalkeeper Claudio Bravo but that served only to stir the hosts into action.

Leroy Sane drew them level before a penalty from Aguero and a tap-in from Pablo Zabaleta gave them a 3-1 advantage at the break, with their first three goals coming in a devastating eight-minute spell.

Aguero grabbed a fourth in the second half and Kelechi Iheanacho completed the rout in stoppage time as Manchester City secured an away tie against Premier League side Middlesbrough in the last eight.

Revised QFs draw

Note: Last-eight ties will be played from March 10-13.
