Manchester City EDS 3, Liverpool U23 2

Goals by Lorenzo Gonzalez, Rabbi Matondo, and Felix Nmecha wiped out an early Harry Wilson penalty for Liverpool who could only score a late consolation through Toni Gomes as the struggling Manchester City EDS side, who lost Benjamin Garre to injury, toppled Premier League 2 league leaders Liverpool at the City Football Academy.

City were lucky to win after Liverpool had served out the better chances in an injury hit game in which three players were substituted in an extended first half that lasted nearly an hour thanks to extended injury time with injury niggles on both sides throughout the game.

Manchester City leave it late as injury-time goal from Sergio Aguero earns 2-1 first-leg lead in Carabao Cup semi-final against Bristol City

MAN CITY 2, BRISTOL CITY 1

Sergio Aguero came off the bench to score a dramatic injury-time winner as Manchester City take a slender 2-1 lead to Ashton Gate for the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final against Bristol City.

City certainly needed one of their big guns to overcome a Bristol side that had already beaten four Premier League games in the knockout.

It was cruel on Lee Johnson’s Championship club that produced a heroic display and even spent 11 minutes either side of the break holding the lead through a Bobby Reid penalty.

City equalised through Kevin De Bruyne and had to summon Aguero and Kyle Walker in the latter stages in an effort to conjure a winner.

Both Manchester clubs were given away ties in the Fourth Round of the FA Cup after the draw was made tonight.

Yeovil Town of League 2, the lowest ranked club still in the competition, drew the plum tie of the round and will welcome Manchester United to Huish Park after the Reds beat Derby County on Friday.

The two clubs last met each other in the Third Round in 2015 – also at Huish Park – and on that occasion goals by Ander Herrera and Angel Di Maria saw the Reds march on following a 2-0 win on their way to lifting the trophy at Wembley that May under then-boss Louis Van Gaal.

Manchester City, who beat Burnley 4-1 on Saturday, will visit the winner of the replay between Cardiff City of the Championship and League 2 club Mansfield Town.
