Arsenal lost to Manchester City in a League Cup quarter-final match.

The “Emirates” match in the English capital ended with a score of 1: 4.

Exactly for the winners were Jesús, Mares, Fouden and Laporte. Lacazette signed for the hosts.

Ozil, Parthey and Jaca were not available to the Londoners for various reasons, the first being “frozen” by the coaching staff, the second injured and the second serving a sentence.

Garcia, who is injured, came out for the guests. However, this was not decisive.

After only 3 minutes of play, the visiting team had already scored their first goal of the night. Gabriel Jesús gave an advantage to “citizenship” and made Josep Guardiola express his satisfaction in a pure way for the band.

A few more good attacks followed for Manchester, but instead of scoring a second goal, they scored one on their goal. Its author was Alexander Lacazette, for whom this was another hit with the team’s jersey during the season.

Despite more serious ball possession and advantage in almost every phase of the game, City did not score a new goal before the break.

However, in just 4 minutes into the second half, Guardiola’s players took theirs and hinted that they would be the ultimate winners of the clash.

In the 55th minute, Marez shot hard from a free kick, the ball went to the corner of the “goalkeeper”, but the young point guard of the “Gunners”, who replaced Bernd Leno in this game, missed the ball and it fell into his net .

In the 59th minute Phil Fouden received a great pass and made no mistake, technically outscoring the goalkeeper 1: 3. However, replays showed that the City player is in ambush. Either way, the hit was conceded.

Fouden himself assisted in the last fourth goal of his team’s game, putting the ball in Aymeric Laporte’s head in the 73rd minute of play and the team’s coach’s compatriot scored from very close.

There was no further change in the result and Manchester City continues to the semi-finals of the race.

The lineups the two managers started with:

Arsenal: Runarson, Mustafi, Gabriel, Kolasinac, Maitlan Niles, Elneni, Sebajos, Cedric, Willock, Lacazette, Martineli

Manchester City: Steffen, Cancello, Díaz, Laporte, Zinchenko, Rodri, Fernandinho, Silva, Marez, Foden, Jesús
