Man City's Johnson happy to get out of danger Leicester tie with a win

Manchester City winger Adam Johnson said his side was lucky to get out of their FA Cup third round replay with Leicester City.

The Eastlands club eventually got over the line 4-2 at home after some anxious moments against the Championship outfit and Johnson, who scored his side's third goal, was just happy to get past the danger fixture.

"They pushed us, and in one-off games anything can happen," he said on ESPN. "But we made it hard for ourselves.

"When we go two goals up here we shouldn't be put under pressure but a little break for them gets them back in the game, but Kolarov scored a great goal at the end."
