LONDON — Carlos Tevez’s 16th goal of the season helped Manchester City earn a 4-2 win over second-tier Leicester in a FA Cup third-round replay on Tuesday.
The Argentina striker set City on its way in the 15th minute with a stunning individual effort and although he later missed a second-half penalty, the hosts had too much for Leicester as they set up a match against Notts County in the fourth round.
Patrick Vieira and Adam Johnson scored in the space of 77 seconds to put Roberto Mancini’s side 3-1 up at the break and Aleksandar Kolarov’s late finish saw off the plucky visitors, coached by former City manager Sven-Goran Eriksson.
Wolverhampton thrashed Doncaster 5-0 to progress, while Cardiff and Stoke went into extra time following a 0-0 draw after 90 minutes.
