"Pep Guardiola believes Manchester City's spirit has returned, after goals from Phil Foden and Savinho guided them to a 2-0 win over Huddersfield Town in the EFL Cup third round. City went without a major trophy for just the second time under Guardiola last season, finishing third in the Premier League, losing the FA Cup final to Crystal Palace and exiting the EFL Cup in the fourth round against Tottenham."
"It was a good one. It is always tricky, but we played really well. They changed their shape, and we had to improve in our build-up, but we did really well in general. We are in the next round, it is good! Don't take it for granted. The spirit is back in many ways. I am so pleased. It was really good."
Manchester City secured a 2-0 EFL Cup third-round victory over Huddersfield Town, with Phil Foden opening the scoring and Savinho adding a second in the second half. City made nine changes to the starting line-up but controlled the game, registering 17 shots and 1.2 expected goals (xG) while Huddersfield managed five attempts worth 0.2 xG and failed to hit the target. Divine Mukasa provided a notable contribution on debut in the build-up to the first goal. City progress to face Swansea City in round four, and Huddersfield's manager expressed pride in his team's effort.
