Ten Hag on EFL Cup win and Ronaldo exit

Manchester City’s quest for a seventh Carabao Cup in 10 years will continue with a quarter-final tie against Southampton.

City beat defending champions Liverpool in a Christmas cracker on Wednesday evening, earning a 3-2 victory at the Etihad Stadium in the first game back after the World Cup break. Their next test will be a visit to St Mary’s in the week commencing January 9.

Meanwhile, League One Charlton Athletic’s reward for beating Brighton in the fourth round is a visit to Manchester United. The Addicks are the only non-Premier League side left in the draw and they face a stern test against United, who are currently 57 places above them in the league ladder.

Nottingham Forest, will be hoping to add more stories to their rich history in the League Cup as they host Wolves in a Midlands derby, while Newcastle United’s fans are beginning to dream of glory and they will have their sights set on a semi-final berth as they host Leicester City in the last eight.

Man City 3-2 Liverpool

67 mins: Nathan Ake and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain come together inside the Man City penalty area and the Liverpool midfielder hits the deck.

The referee lets play go on and Liverpool’s penalty appeal is turned down. There’s no VAR to overturn the decision either. It seemed like a 50/50 challenge so that’s not an egregious error from the official.

Man City 3-2 Liverpool

64 mins: Chance! Mo Salah flicks the ball into Jordan Henderson on the right wing and the Liverpool captain floats a cross into the middle of the box.

The ball is flicked over to the left side of the area where Andy Roberston arrives and smokes a first time shot high over the crossbar!

Man City 2-2 Liverpool

54 mins: That’s a nice cross from Cole Palmer. The young Manchester City forward gets into space on the left wing and lifts a high ball into the box.

Haaland is waiting for it but Phillips sneaks ahead of him and nods the ball over to Robertson who clears the danger.

Man City 2-2 Liverpool

51 mins: Mo Salah now has three goals against Man City this season and each goal has come in a different competition - the Community Shield, Premier League and now the Carabao Cup.

Liverpool have had just two shots on target and they’ve scored two goals.

GOAL! Man City 2-2 Liverpool (Salah, 48’)⚽️

48 mins: Immediate response! Liverpool make use of Man City’s high line and slide the ball down the left wing where Darwin Nunez collects it on his way in behind the defence.

He brings the ball right into the penalty area before playing a blind pass back to Mo Salah who is switched on enough to turn the ball into the back of the net!

Just one minute and 20 seconds separated the two goals.

GOAL! Man City 2-1 Liverpool (Mahrez, 47’)⚽️

47 mins: City lead again! Thiago Alcantara isn’t expecting the ball in midfield and a heavy touch gives the ball to Ilkay Gundogan who lays it off to Rodri.

Rodri floats a diagonal pass into the box where Riyad Mahrez brings the ball down with an exceptional touch that takes the ball inside of Andy Roberston.

Now in space Mahrez shoots and fires the ball into the back of the net.

Second half: Man City 1-1 Liverpool

45 mins: Jurgen Klopp has decided that a bit more experience is needed if Liverpool are to get through this game. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Fabinho come on to replace Stefan Bajcetic and Fabio Carvalho.

The Reds get the game restarted.
