It's a distraction but at least we can say we have won a match. Our first goals from open play since the last round in August.
Two for Thorne, one for Bullock and a superb reward for Byron Anthony on his full debut.
City scored three in 7 first half minutes. Anthony's goal, City's fourth, was scored just after MK were down to 10 men.
City are now in the draw for the third round along with Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea, Doncaster and Colchester. A big name would be a welcome reward.
The draw takes place live on Sky on Wednesday night.
