Milner brace rescues City after early scare

Sheffield Wednesday held a 1-0 lead for a large period of the game but City managed to get out of jail.

MANCHESTER CITY AVOIDED a huge scare in today’s FA Cup third round as James Milner’s double helped them see off Sheffield Wednesday.

An equaliser in the 66th minute and then a winner in stoppage time for the birthday boy helped spare City’s blushes after Adthe Nuhiu put the visitors just 14 minutes in.

City lacked any sort of class in the first half and Wednesday went into the break with a deserved lead, courtesy of this goal:

A change was needed and Manuel Pelligrini obliged, adjusting his system to move Milner into a more advanced role.

It couldn’t have worked out any better for the Chilean coach as the 29-year-old first netted this equaliser just after the hour mark…
