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:

Leicester are putting more pressure on Man City, they are pressing higher and and look more alert now that James Maddison is on the pitch.

Leicester boot the ball long looking for Maddison but give it away. Walker gets it on the right for Man City and he puts it into the box but it's too high for Aguero to reach it.

Man City look to be regaining their control on the game. Iheanacho gives away a free kick and and Man City look to play the ball up from the back. Diaz runs into the box from the left and wins a corner.

Leicester win a corner as Zinchenko puts the ball out of play. Maddison puts the ball into the box, it's headed back to him so he puts another ball into the centre and finds Maguire who wins the header but Muric collects the ball.

Mahrez comes close for Man City, Foden sets him up for a first time shot and Mahrez tries a curling left-footed shot that skims the left post. 

At the other end Leicester win a free kick, it's played low into the box and Iheanacho goes down but the referee waves away the penalty shout.

The substitute levels the match. Albrighton makes his run in behind the Manchester City defence as the ball comes over the top. He brings the ball down and powers it past Muric. Game on!

We're into the final ten minutes of the match. Leicester have been great in this second half but Man City have brought Jesus and Sterling on hoping to find the winner. Everything is still to play for.

84 mins Leicester 1 - 1 Man City

Choudhury makes a desperate challenge on Jesus and the referee has sent it to VAR. IT comes back as a fair challenge so Leicester escape from giving away a free kick on the edge of their own area.
