Antoine Semenyo marked the start of his Manchester City career in emphatic fashion, scoring in a staggering 10-1 FA Cup rout of Exeter City at the Etihad Stadium.

Just 24 hours after completing a £65 million move from Bournemouth, Semenyo found the net as Pep Guardiola’s side overwhelmed their League One opponents. Despite starting the match, Erling Haaland endured a rare quiet outing in front of goal and was substituted at half-time.

City’s goals were spread throughout the side, with Rico Lewis striking twice, while Max Alleyne, Rodri, Tijjani Reijnders, Nico O’Riley and Ryan McAidoo also got on the scoresheet. Exeter’s misery was compounded by two own goals as the visitors struggled to contain City’s relentless attacking play.

Elsewhere, Sunderland progressed from an all-Premier League tie after defeating Everton on penalties following a 1-1 draw. Goalkeeper Robin Roefs proved the hero in the shootout, saving all three of Everton’s spot-kicks to send the Black Cats into the fourth round.

Wolverhampton Wanderers continued their improved run of form, extending their unbeaten streak to four matches with a thumping 6-1 victory over Shrewsbury. Jørgen Strand Larsen was the standout performer, netting a hat-trick to inspire the Premier League strugglers.

Fulham were made to work hard at Craven Cottage, scoring three times in the final half hour to overturn Middlesbrough and secure a 3-1 win. Burnley, by contrast, enjoyed a more straightforward evening, sweeping aside Millwall 5-1, while Brentford eased past financially troubled Sheffield Wednesday with a comfortable 2-0 away victory.

One of the ties of the round saw Newcastle United edge past Bournemouth on penalties after a dramatic 3-3 draw that went all the way to extra time. Anthony Gordon’s 95th-minute penalty forced the contest into added time, and after Harvey Barnes appeared to have won it for Newcastle in the 118th minute, Marcus Tavernier struck deep into stoppage time to force a shootout, which the Magpies eventually won 7-6.

In London, Aston Villa added to the pressure on Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank with a 2-1 victory. Emiliano Buendía and Morgan Rogers put Villa firmly in control by half-time, though Spurs showed significant improvement after the interval. Wilson Odobert’s goal set up a tense finish, but Tottenham were unable to find an equaliser, prompting a chorus of boos from the home supporters at full-time.
