Europa: Manchester City overpower Porto

Goals from Sergio Aguero, Edin Dzeko, David Silva and David Pizarro - the last three in the space of nine minutes late in the second leg tie - ensured a comfortable evening for City who won 6-1 on aggregate.

It took the Premier League leaders City just 19 seconds to extend their advantage when Aguero claimed the quickest goal in the Europa League this season after Argentinian defender Nicolas Otamendi had lost the ball around the halfway line, only for Nigel de Jong to find Yaya Toure whose pass sent Aguero racing clear of the Porto backline before finishing clinically into the bottom left-hand corner.

The goal rush came against a Porto side who played the final 14 minutes with 10 men after the sending off of defender Rolando for a second yellow card.
