Southampton vs Manchester City LIVE: Carabao Cup score, result and reaction Saints seal shock win

Southampton 2-0 Man City: Sekou Mara and Moussa Djenepo score first-half goals as City are stunned at the quarter-final stage

Guardiola has no concerns over Haaland's effectiveness off the ball

Manchester City crashed out of the Carabao Cup after substitutes Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne failed to inspire a fightback in a shock 2-0 quarter-final defeat to Premier League strugglers Southampton.

First-half goals from Saints pair Sekou Mara and Moussa Djenepo stunned the eight-time winners on an extraordinary evening at St Mary’s.

Pep Guardiola began with Haaland and De Bruyne on the bench for the second successive game ahead of Saturday’s Manchester derby at Old Trafford.

But, unlike on Sunday when the influential pair were not required in a thumping 4-0 FA Cup victory over Chelsea, the decision backfired as they were unable to prevent City suffering elimination after coming off the bench in the second period.

Southampton 1-0 Man City

27 mins: Close! A misplaced pass gives the ball back to Southampton where it comes to Ibrahima Diallo in the middle of the pitch. He turns the ball towards the Man City goal before sliding a pass in between Kalvin Phillips and Aymeric Laporte.

James Ward-Prowse makes the run but the pass is too heavy and Stefan Ortega comes out to scoop up the ball.

Southampton 1-0 Man City

26 mins: That opening goal could be crucial for Southampton’s chances tonight. They’ve now got something to hold onto but should tell themselves it’s still 0-0.

The Saints need to keep up this tempo and verve and hope to nick a second goal before they can think about defending a lead. City are too good at breaking teams down to take the risk at 1-0.

18 mins: Southampton are giving this a good go tonight. They don’t look scared to take the attack to Manchester City and are keeping a solid shape when forced to defend.

Lyanco flicks a pass over the top and picks out Sekou Mara in the penalty area. He brings the ball under control, spins around Kyle Walker then hooks a shoot wide of the far post!

Decent chance that one.
