This was a first meeting between the two sides and City came into it needing a morale-boosting victory after falling off the pace in the Premier League. Antoine Semenyo's signing adds a different dimension to City's attack and he showed the versatility that he will add to the frontline by starting on the left. Despite the early scare through Liam Oakes, City ran riot in the contest - defender Max Alleyne netted his first goal on only his second appearance, while Rodri added a tremendous, long-range strike to settle any nerves and put City in total command.
