City rescued by old reliable Milner

Manchester City 2 Sheffield Wednesday 1

James Milner, a player who revels in his social media alter ego as a supposedly boring individual, was far from it as his two goals, the second in injury-time, allowed the Premier League champions to avoid embarrassment against their Championship visitors.

Trailing to a stunning opening goal by Adthe Nuhiu, Milner scored his first goals at the Etihad Stadium in over two years to secure a place in the fourth round for the 2011 FA Cup winners.
