Penalty for Manchester City!

72mins: GOAL! Manchester City take the lead through Yaya Toure!

Jack de Menezes26 December 2016 18:45

73mins: Raheem Sterling got the better of Robertson again before the Scotland international hauled down the wide man cynically in the area. Yaya Toure showed nerves of steel to send Marshall the wrong way and give City the lead.

76mins: Hull's belief seems to have disappeared since Toure's opener. City on top and looking for a second now.

GOAL! Iheanacho extends City's lead at the KCOM!

Jack de Menezes26 December 2016 18:50

79mins: A slick City move saw De Bruyne find Silva on the right and the Spaniard slide his ball across the face of the area to Iheanacho who tapped it home from close range.

83mins: Hull continue to fight in front of the home crowd but City are keeping the ball and running down the clock like all top sides do. 

Jack de Menezes26 December 2016 18:56

88mins: Hull have fought valiantly this evening but they will leave the KCOM empty handed. Robertson's overhit pass sums up the disparity of quality between themselves and their classy opponents.

90mins: Goal! Hull City 0-3 Manchester City (Curtis Davies OG)
