Swindon 1-4 Man City LIVE! Palmer goal - FA Cup result, match stream and latest updates today

Swindon Town vs Manchester City - LIVE!

The Premier League champions made light work of their lower league opposition on Friday night.

While Harry McKirdy’s goal to pull one back for the home side as City led by three goals gave Swindon something to shout about, City largely controlled the evening with an elegant ease so often seen across other competitions.

Bernardo Silva, Gabriel Jesus (who also missed a penalty), Ilkay Gundogan and the excellent Cole Palmer ensured even a City side without Pep Guardiola made it through to the fourth round and avoided what would have been one of the biggest upsets of all time.

Swindon did give a good account of themselves but ultimately and understandably just couldn’t match a side who are still able to field a team many in Europe would envy even despite their recent Covid problems

The FA Cup is back. Isn’t it glorious?
