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.
Manchester City's Argentinian forward Sergio Aguero (3rd R) celebrates scoring after 16 seconds during the UEFA Europa League Round of 32 second leg football match between Manchester City and FC Porto at The Etihad Stadium in Manchester. City booked their place in the last 16 with a crushing 4-0 second leg victory that gave them a 6-1 aggregate win.
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.
