It took a quarter of an hour, but then it really narrowed for the league leader in the Premier League. The great talent Cole Palmer took his defender on a proper carousel, and found Bernardo Silva in front of goal.
The Portuguese widened the lead for City in the open cage.

City went into the locker room with the comfortable lead, and had good control from the start in the second half.
– Awful
The quarter after the break, the German Ilkay Gündogan put the nail in the coffin, when he sent a free kick around the wall, right down at the post root.
– That one is so rude. A real freak from Ilkay Gündogan. Right down at the post root.
Shortly afterwards, goal scorer Jesus had the opportunity to double his number of goals in the match, from the penalty spot, but the penalty kick was easily saved by Swindon goalkeeper Lewis Ward.
– A miserable penalty kick by Gabriel Jesus. Terribly weak, Stokke concluded after the boom.
The quarter before the end, Harry McKirdy sent Swindon fans to heaven when he was played through by former Sunderland player Jonny Williams.

The audience got a taste of the young boy Cole Palmer in the first round, but what the 19-year-old did towards the end of the match made more people open their eyes. The edge got the ball on the side, and sent a whiz in via the crossbar.
– Oi, for a wild scoring by Palmer. It can not be done better, wonderful.
Manchester City thus easily advanced to the next round of the FA Cup. Norwegian Oscar Bobb sat on the bench, but never came on the field for City.
