Whilst no one is suggesting that this famous score-line is a sure sign that we have are ready to challenge for the title or win a cup, it is refreshing to see a hat full scored after creating so many chances.

Manchester City boss Mark Hughes:
"There were lots of positives to come out of the game when we played with the necessary intensity and tempo that made it difficult for Scunthorpe.
"We put on plenty of pressure and in the end they were not able to cope with it and we ran out comfortable winners.
"We wanted to finish the tie off and not repeat the draw against Fulham."
Scunthorpe manager Nigel Adkins:
"City have made it clear they want to win this tournament by the strength of the side they put out.
"If they had turned out a weakened side they could have come unstuck. We played well and created a lot of chances.
"But the quality of City shone through in the second half, the workrate was phenomenal and a lesson to our lads."
Whilst it was great to see us score so many goals the real positives were the 90 minutes and goal for Roque Santa Cruz and the selection of Silvinho at left back. It was great to see Superman easing back into the side and with the cameo of Michael Johnson it was a successful outing for us.
The two best goals of the night came from those two and both will be looking to get back into the side and make a place their own.
The victory now means that we are into the quarter finals of a cup that is high on our priority list and we must be one of the favourites if the top 4 teams continue to play their fringe players.
