City put three past Blackburn

Manchester City romped to an easy 3-1 win over Blackburn at Eastlands to maintain their push for a place in next season's Europa League.

Felipe Caicedo opened the Blues account 18 minutes before half-time with one of the scrappiest goals of the season.

But Robinho drilled home a second well enough before Elano added a third from the spot - ensuring Keith Andrews' second-half effort had minimal impact.
