"Manchester City are through to the fourth round of the League Cup after a comfortable 2-0 win at lower league Huddersfield Town. City last won the trophy in 2021 but the eight-time winners made light work of their test across the Pennines. Pep Guardiola parked the bus at Arsenal last weekend but saw a much more familiar display frorm his side as they dominated the ball. Phil Foden opened the scoring, playing a neat one-two with debutant Divine Mukasa and lashing in from 20 yards."
"Zepiqueno Redmond fired over with the League One side's best chance while Ben Wiles also dragged a shot wide from a narrow angle. City had all of the ball but rather huffed and puffed with it until they did find a second with 15 minutes left. Savinho wrapped up the win when Town couldn't clear a bounceing ball on the edge of the area and he thumped in a shot that Lee Nicholls could only palm onto the crossbar and in."

Phil Foden opened the scoring after a one-two with debutant Divine Mukasa, finishing from 20 yards. Huddersfield's best opportunities came from Zepiqueno Redmond and Ben Wiles, who both failed to convert. City struggled to create many clear chances until Savinho scored with 15 minutes remaining following a spilled clearance that Lee Nicholls could only palm onto the crossbar and in. Two sons of Emile Heskey featured late for City.
