- The result sent the Citizens through to the round of 16.
A calm introduction in Manchester
City controlled the contest from the outset and left their new goalkeeper with little meaningful work to do. Rulli’s debut therefore arrived in favourable circumstances, protected by a side that overwhelmed its second-tier visitors.
The emphatic victory ensured Manchester City continued into the competition’s last 16, with Rulli able to mark his first outing for the club in a commanding team performance.
