Manchester City has beaten Blackburn Rovers 5-0 on Wednesday at home in Etihad Stadium to book a FA Cup fourth-round tie against Watford.

It was another demolition by Manuel Pellegrini's side, who drew 1-1 with Blackburn at Ewood Park in the original tie and have now scored 99 goals in all competitions this season.

According to the BBC, City dominated in the game minutes before the break after Alvaro Negredo scored either side of the break and Edin Dzeko squeezed in at the near post, following which Sergio Aguero, who as been out with a calf problem, came off the bench in the second half to turn and fire in.

After Aguero struck, Dzeko converted Jesus Navas's cross for his second goal in the game.

The 2011 FA Cup winners now average four goals per home game in all competitions, the report added.
