Cardiff City recorded a 4-1 win against Mansfield Town in the FA Cup on Tuesday to set up a fourth-round clash with Manchester City.

In front of Pep Guardiola who was watching the game, Bruno Ecuele Manga scored in the 34th minute to put Cardiff ahead before Danny Rose levelled for their League Two opponents shortly after.

The Bluebirds eventually begun to outclass their opponents with a strike from Junior Hoilett putting them back in front and Anthony Pilkington putting them up 3-1 five minutes later.

Former Blackburn starlet Hoilett added his second at the death to crash the Stags dream of getting the chance to play against the Premier League leaders.
