Manchester City advanced tonight (Friday) to the fourth round of the English Cup. The champions had to make do without seven players and without coach Pep Guardiola who were found positive for Corona, but still did not have a hard time against Swindon in League 2, the fourth in the English hierarchy, and defeated them 1: 4.
Bernardo Silva scored the first goal in the 14th minute. Cole Palmer made a nice move to the right and passed a wide delivery, the Portuguese easily continued inside the 0-1. Gabriel Jesus doubled in the 28th minute after snatching the ball and passing it to Kevin de Bruyne, who returned it and the Brazilian kicked in the 0-2. Ilkai Gonduane scored the third with a beautiful free kick in the 59th minute. Jesus could have completed a double, but missed Pendel in the 62nd minute. Harry McCardy managed to shrink in the 78th minute after a cook by Jonathan Williams and delighted the crowd that filled the field. Palmer scored himself in the 82nd minute after Bernardo Silva kicked and was stopped. The 19-year-old Englishman kicked nicely from the right with his left foot straight to the far connections the 1: 4.
