Recap

City faced the tougher challenge on Saturday at Middlesbrough, but David Silva's opening goal after just three minutes ensured the Sky Blues were never put under real pressure by their opponents.

The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager showered his team with praise after the win, via the club's official Twitter account:

Theo Walcott opened the scoring just before half-time with a deflected effort, and Olivier Giroud doubled the lead early in the second half.

When Luke Waterfall added to the tally with an own goal, BBC Sport's Dan Walker thought the match was over. He praised tiny Lincoln for a solid outing:

Aaron Ramsey and Alexis Sanchez put the final goals on the board, prompting this tweet from former England international Gary Lineker:

The win won't buy manager Arsene Wenger much credit after a difficult week in which the Gunners were demolished by German champions Bayern Munich for a second time this season.
