Giant-killing: MANCHESTER CITY 0-2 MIDDLESBROUGH

Manchester City lost 2-0 at home to Championship side Middlesbrough. Patrick Bamford, on loan from Chelsea, scored the opening goal and Kike added a late second as a City side containing the likes of Sergio Aguero and David Silva drew a humiliating blank.

The shocks came less than 24 hours after Manchester United were held to a 0-0 draw by Cambridge United - yet Louis van Gaal's side have seen their odds to win the competition tumble after the Premier League's top three sides all lost.

Manchester City's FA Cup woes continued as they tumbled to a tame exit against Middlesbrough. Having lost to Wigan in each of the previous two seasons, Manuel Pellegrini's side failed to score despite fielding a strong team including Vincent Kompany, David Silva and Sergio Aguero.

Patrick Bamford opened the scoring on 53 minutes after an error by Fernando. Frank Lampard hit the post for City as the home side desperately chased the game, before Kike put the result beyond doubt in added time.
