City rise high

Manchester City powered into the last 16 of the Europa League at the expense of holders Porto, who had a man sent off late on last night.

Sergio Aguero set up victory by extending City's 2-1 first-leg lead after just 18 seconds before hitting the bar later in the first half.

Edin Dzeko came off the bench to add a second after 76 minutes before the sending off of Rolando preceded further goals from David Silva and David Pizarro in the closing minutes.
