"After Liam Oakes gave the hosts an early scare, Max Alleyne broke the deadlock in the 12th minute, pouncing on Jack Fitzwater's poor block to turn it home. Rodri then doubled their lead 12 minutes later with a stunning 25-yard effort, before a dismal five-minute period before the break for Exeter ultimately settled the game. Fitzwater nodded a Rayan Cherki corner against an unfortunate Jack Doyle-Hayes and in, before getting an own goal to his name by deflecting Tijjani Reijnders' pullback past Joe Whitworth."
"Semenyo, following his reported £65m move from Bournemouth, came to the fore after the break, whipping in a lovely cross for Rico Lewis to tap home before coolly slotting Man City's sixth into the bottom-right corner 54 minutes in. Reijnders bent a stunning strike from the edge of the box past Whitworth 71 minutes in, while Nico O'Reilly glanced a looping header over the goalkeeper 11 minutes from time."
Manchester City demolished League One Exeter City 10-1 in the FA Cup third round. Max Alleyne opened the scoring in the 12th minute and Rodri added a 25‑yard strike before Exeter conceded twice in a five‑minute spell, including a headed goal and an own goal involving Jack Fitzwater. Antoine Semenyo provided an assist for Rico Lewis and scored in the 54th minute following his reported £65m move from Bournemouth. Tijjani Reijnders, Nico O'Reilly and debutant Ryan McAidoo added further goals, while George Birch scored a late consolation for Exeter. Pep Guardiola watched from the stands and did not look overly impressed despite the dominance. Manchester City became the first English top‑flight side to score ten or more FA Cup goals in a match since 1960.
