The presence of former manager Andre Villas-Boas at Eastlands failed to inspire holders Porto as Manchester City eased into the last 16 of the Europa League with a 4-0 second leg win on Wednesday.

Goals from Sergio Aguero, Edin Dzeko, David Silva and David Pizarro -- the last three in the space of nine minutes late in the second leg tie -- ensured a comfortable evening for City, who won 6-1 on aggregate.
