Pearce stands defiant despite Cup exit

MANCHESTER CITY manager Stuart Pearce remained defiant after his side exited the FA Cup yesterday.

Goals from Aaron Mokoena — who was later sent off — and Matt Derbyshire gave Blackburn a 2-0 victory and a place in the semi-finals.

It means City have lost four of their last five games in all competitions and the supporters voiced their disapproval at Ewood Park.
