"Little had occured in the first half during a rainy night in a game between two much-changed sides but it was one of City's more regular starters who lighted up the Etihad with a sumptuous goal in the 32nd minute. After a corner was headed away by Kevin Schade, the France international took a touch on the edge of the box, before shifting on to his right and unleashing a wonderful strike into the top corner with his right foot."
"It continues a rich vein of form for the summer signing from Lyon, who has provided six assists in his last seven games for the Citizens. The 22-year-old is beginning to become a regular under Pep Guardiola, with his quality - shown by his brilliant opener - coming to the fore more and more this season. Brentford will feel hard-done-by heading into the half-time break."
Rayan Cherki scored a sumptuous 20-yard right-foot strike into the top corner to give Manchester City the lead against Brentford in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. The goal came in the 32nd minute after a corner was headed away and Cherki took a touch on the edge of the box before shifting onto his right. The Lyon summer signing has four goals and six assists in his last seven games. Brentford had an earlier incident as Abdukodir Khusanov escaped a red card for denying Kevin Schade a goalscoring opportunity. Manchester City made seven changes, with Divine Mukasa starting up front.
