Sergio Aguero got the only goal of the game as Manchester City narrowly edged into the FA Cup quarter-finals with a win over Sheffield Wednesday.
The Championship hosts had previous in this season's competition of eliminating a Premier League side having dispatched Brighton in the third round but Pep Guardiola's side, the defending champions of this competition, proved to be too much on the night.
It was not through want of trying but when Aguero's strike early in the second half was meekly saved by the goalkeeper, only to loop up over him and into the net, it was to be the decisive action that would separate the sides.
