Budtz saves twice as City crash out on penalties

Doncaster Rovers 0 Manchester City 1

After being pegged back by Michael McIndoe’s last-gasp extra-time spot-kick, Stuart Pearce’s side suffered three successful failures of their own in the decisive duel.

There was no sign of the drama to come in an uneventful opening 90 minutes and it was one of the new boys who on show, young midfielder Stephen Ireland, who created the first chance with a forceful run to the edge of Doncaster’s box.
