Pep Guardiola's team beat Watford and advanced to the 1/8 finals.
Manchester City beat Watford in a home match of the 1/16 finals of the English League Cup. The meeting at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester ended with a score of 2:1.
After the “citizens” on September 22 in an extremely dramatic match of the Premier League snatched a draw against Arsenal, on September 24 a semi-reserve squad was expected to play against the “hornets”.
Despite this, Josep Guardiola's team managed to win and advance to the next round of the tournament.
Jeremy Doku scored already in the fifth minute, and in the 38th minute Mateus Nunes doubled the “citizens'” advantage. The visitors responded in the 86th minute with a goal from Tom Ince, but that was all they could do.
