(Football result) - Foden and Savinho stood out, helping Manchester City beat Huddersfield to move forward in the Carabao Cup.
Phil Foden and Savinho scored in turn, leading Manchester City to a comfortable 2-0 victory over Huddersfield and securing a spot in the Carabao Cup fourth round.
Playing as a "false nine," Foden was City's main threat and opened the scoring in the 18th minute with a well-coordinated move alongside young talent Divine Mukasa, finishing confidently into the low corner. In the 74th minute, Savinho sealed the win with a powerful angled shot that beat goalkeeper Lee Nicholls.
Coach Pep Guardiola made nine changes compared to the Premier League draw against Arsenal last weekend, keeping only Foden and Nico O’Reilly in the starting lineup. Notably, Mukasa made his first-team debut, while City controlled 82% possession in the first half but created few clear chances.
Manchester City dominated the play against Huddersfield
Huddersfield, making seven personnel changes and debuting new signing Zepiqueno Redmond, defended resolutely and nearly equalized when Ben Wiles narrowly missed the target in the first half. In the second half, they continued to counterattack, but under relentless pressure, the home side’s defense eventually collapsed.
Kalvin Phillips also marked his first return since December 2023 by coming on late in the match. Huddersfield had a chance for honor with Cameron Ashia’s shot hitting the post, but it was not enough to stop Man City from claiming a convincing victory.
