Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini was delighted with Sylvinho's long-range goal in their FA Cup win at Scunthorpe United.

Sylvinho's spectacular long-range strike put City 3-1 ahead midway through the second half, with the veteran Brazilian coming in for praise from his manager.

"Sylvinho is a great player to have in your squad, he sets an example to everyone and deserved his goal. It's good to have someone like him that can change position if we need, and he had to in the second half. It was a fantastic strike by him and I'm pleased for him for all the hard work he puts in for the squad," Mancini told City's website.
