Petrov and Vassell steer Man City past Streymur

Man City 2 EB/Streymur 0 (aggregate 4 - 0 )

Martin Petrov’s second goal of this tie and a late Darius Vassell goal eased Manchester City into the UEFA Cup second qualifying round at Oakwell.

City made heavy weather of beating the brave Faroe Islanders, and it was not until early in the second-half that Petrov struck to ease any worries amongst the Manchester fans who had travelled to Yorkshire for this second-leg.

The part-timers produced a defiant defensive display with goalkeeper Rene Torgard --a mechanic by trade – their star performer.
