Stevan Jovetic and Jesus Navas scored their first goals for Manchester City en route to avenging last season's shock FA Cup final defeat by Wigan Athletic with a 5-0 victory in the League Cup third round at home on Tuesday.
Montenegro striker Jovetic, signed for $39.9 million from Fiorentina in the offseason, scored twice on a night when fellow Premier League heavyweights Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur also eased into the next round.
Fernando Torres started for Chelsea and scored its first goal in a 2-0 win at League One (third tier) Swindon Town while Jermain Defoe, who is also often left on the bench, made the most of his outing at Aston Villa with a brace in Tottenham's 4-0 victory.
