Manchester City 3-1 Swansea: Cherki shines as Blues battle into Carabao Cup last eight.

 

Manchester City advanced to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals after a hard-fought 3-1 victory over Swansea.

The Championship side struck first and pushed City throughout, but Jeremy Doku’s deflected effort brought the Premier League champions level before half-time.

Despite dominating possession, City had to wait until the 77th minute to take the lead when Omar Marmoush fired a powerful angled shot into the roof of the net.

Rayan Cherki sealed the win in stoppage time with a precise finish into the bottom corner, capping an impressive display that also saw him provide an assist.

The victory sends City into the last eight, extending their strong run of form with just one loss in their last 11 games.
