    Manchester City beat Swindon Town 4-1 in the third round of the FA Cup. Youngster Cole Palmer had a terrific night for the Premier League champions, scoring one and making another goal. Palmer was handed a start in the absence of several first-team players due to COVID-19 against the League Two side. Bernardo Silva, Gabriel Jesus, and IIkay Gundogan scored as well.

    Why does it matter?

    Man City manager Pep Guardiola was missing from the dugout as he and 20 of his players and staff were isolating after testing positive for the novel coronavirus. Despite the issues, City were too strong against the Robins. City named a strong side to face Swindon Town and were merciless, dominating the game with 23 shots and 77% ball possession.

    How did the match pan out?

    The in-form Silva met a low cross from Palmer to help City get an early lead. Jesus scored the second goal after the hosts gifted City possession on the edge of the area. Gundogan then beat Lewis Ward with a free-kick from 25 before the Swindon goal-keeper did well to save Jesus' penalty minutes later. Harry McKirdy pulled a goal back for Swindon.
