Sports News Cup Upset: Adomah  Boro shock Man City at Etihad
JAN 24, 2015 LISTEN

Manchester City have been dumped out of the FA Cup after falling to a 2-0 defeat in their fourth-round tie against Middlesbrough this afternoon.

The hosts dominated from the kick off and they threatened early on when a low cross from Jesus Navas had to be parried away from danger by Tomas Mejias.

Despite all of City's pressure, they were caught out in the 53rd minute as the Championship side took a shock lead after a poor back pass from Fernando put Willy Caballero in trouble and Albert Adomah took advantage to poke the ball goalwards.

His effort was blocked on the line by Fernando, but the Brazilian's clearance cannoned off the arriving Patrick Bamford and flew into the net.

City kept pushing forward in search of a goal, but they were caught out for the second time as Kike slid an effort into the corner to wrap up a famous win for the visitors.
