Manchester City effectively sealed their progress to the quarter-finals of the Champions League with a stunning demolition of Sporting Lisbon in Portugal.

As they have done for much of this season, City put on a majestic display to give themselves a surely unassailable advantage in a tie against the Portuguese side.

Bernardo Silva scores two,while Riyad Mahrez,Sterling and Foden were all on the scores as City hits 5 past Sporting.

The result equals the biggest winning margin in an away match in the Champions League knockout phase and gives City their joint biggest European away victory, level with the 5-0 win at Steaua Bucharest in the play-off round of this competition in 2016-17.

Sporting will travel to Manchester for the formality of the second leg on Wednesday, 16 March.
