Tottenham 2 - 1 City
Guardiola does not consider today's EFL Cup match an important match. That's why Guardiola rested key players in the squad today. Champions League and Premier League matches are more important for Guardiola. So in today's match, City played their second tier squad.
As Pep explained before this match if he does not want to risk so many players. And in that, indeed, he kept Man City's main players on the bench and even some were not played, because there are other matches that they prioritize, EPL and also UCL, especially.
I'm starting to be amazed now by Man United's game which is really quite surprising. Because their goal productivity can really be seen again in today's match which is taking place in the Carabao Cup against Leicester City. The current score is 5-2 and could increase. Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro even scored 2 goals each in this match.
At least, Ruud van Nistelrooy started his career as a coach this time very well, and did not disappoint. Because if you look at it, his performance is also quite good, ball dominance, and the movement of his players is quite organized. Well, let's just see how it will be in the future whether Man United can be consistent or not in all matches.
And next in the EFL Cup, Man United will meet Tottenham.
