The League One side responded to Joao Cancelo’s deflected first-half goal by drawing level less than a minute after the interval through Matty Taylor’s weaving run and finish.

In the end, however, City’s class told and Raheem Sterling struck twice from close range to settle any nerves and secure the holders’ place in the last four.

Manchester City take on local rivals Manchester United in the semi-finals, while Leicester City face Aston Villa in the other all-Premier League tie.
