City so rich

MANCHESTER City won a penalty shoot-out to extend their unbeaten start to the domestic season and reach the semi-finals.

Pep Guardiola made nine changes to his all-conquering Premier League side and his understudies were pushed into extra-time in the Carabao Cup as they looked to maintain their challenge for silverware on four fronts.

A first-half goal by Bernardo Silva, a £43million reserve, had been enough for City to hold the lead for 90 minutes.

Then Kyle Walker was penalised in a collision with Demarai Gray in the box and Jamie Vardy stepped up to slam home the penalty.

There were no more goals in added time so it went to penalties, with City winning 4-3 after Vardy and Riyad Mahrez failed to goal undefended, with City in possession, but Harry Maguire recovered well to block Ilkay Gundogan’s shot on the line.

The rebound fell for Silva, who dragged his effort wide. Gundogan tried to embarrass Hamer in the 20th minute when he spotted the goalkeeper out of position and produced a delicate chip. But Hamer backpedalled effectively to tip the ball over the crossbar.

Moments later Foden had a shot deflected wide and fellowyoungster Tosin Adarabioyo headed just off target from the resulting corner, delivered by Gundogan.

Iheanacho was then booked for overstretching in a bid to beat Claudio Bravo to the ball and catching the goalkeeper late.

City took the lead in the 26th minute when Iheanacho played his part in putting his own side in trouble.

Yaya Toure combined with Gundogan to pick the pocket of their former colleague on halfway,
