Manchester City booked their place in the Carabao Cup fourth round after a 2-0 victory over Huddersfield. The Premier League champions controlled the game from the start and never looked in real danger.
The first goal came in the opening half when Phil Foden finished calmly inside the box. His strike gave Manchester City early control and put pressure on the home side. Huddersfield struggled to match City’s pace and movement in midfield.
In the second half, City pushed for another goal to secure the win. Savinho, who recently joined the squad, scored in the 74th minute. His effort from close range sealed the result and ended Huddersfield’s hopes of a comeback.
The match also gave opportunities to several young players. Manchester City rotated their lineup, and Academy talents made valuable appearances. The youngsters impressed with energy and discipline, showing the depth of City’s squad.
Defensively, City were solid throughout. Huddersfield had some moments late in the match, but City’s backline stayed strong and earned a clean sheet. The goalkeeper had little to do as most of the game was played in Huddersfield’s half.
This victory keeps Manchester City’s Carabao Cup hopes alive as they continue their push for silverware on multiple fronts. The fourth round draw has paired them with Swansea City, another Championship side. That game will provide a fresh test as City look to advance further.
For Huddersfield, the defeat means an end to their Carabao Cup journey this season. Still, they showed determination against one of the strongest sides in Europe.
Manchester City will now turn their focus back to the Premier League before preparing for the next cup challenge.
