'It was a cross' - Manchester City star Walker admits opener in FA Cup win at Swansea was accidental

Manchester City defender Kyle Walker has admitted that his opener against Swansea City on Wednesday was meant to be a cross.

Walker scored in the 30th minute of his side's FA Cup fifth-round match at Liberty Stadium when his low, driven ball from outside the box evaded everyone and nestled in the back of the net.

Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus went on to score in the second half as City advanced to the quarter-final round with a 3-1 win.
