Holders Manchester City remained in the hunt for the quadruple after beating Leicester on penalties in the Carabao Cup.

Oleksandr Zincheko scored to win the shoot-out 3-1 after the match finished 1-1, sending City into the last four.

Arijanet Muric saved from James Maddison and Caglar Soyuncu, while Christian Fuchs also missed for Leicester.

It spared Raheem Sterling's blushes after the forward chipped his spot-kick over the bar. Re-live all the action below:

33 mins: Leicester 0 - 1 Man City

Iheanacho finds himself in space with a sight on Man City's goal. His only other option is to play it to Gray but he decides to shoot. It's the wrong decision as the ball goes flying wide of goal.

36 mins: Leicester 0 - 1 Man City

Man City have controlled the game but aren't making that many clear cut chances. If Leicester can keep hold of the ball for a spell they'll have a way back into the match.

Danny Ward has made the most passes of the match so far. For context he's Leicester City's goalkeeper.

Fuchs and Ndidi combine to win Leicester a corner. Set pieces are probably the home sides best chances to score a goal but the delivery needs to improve. Man City clear the corner with ease.

One-way traffic at the King Power Stadium as the visitors have the lead courtesy of a cracking finish by Kevin De Bruyne. Leicester have a lot of work to do to get back into this game.

In the other quarter-final of the night. Burton Albion are holding their own against Middlesbrough but the game is still goalless at half-time. 

Remember there's no extra time, if it remains a draw then the match goes straight to penalties.

SECOND HALF: Leicester 0 - 1 Man City

Leicester restart the match, they've got 45 minutes to get something out of this game and potentially make it to the Carabao Cup semi-final. What have they got?

Foden takes down Gray from behind and gets a yellow card for the effort. Leicester have looked more forceful so far in this half, so signs are looking up for them.
