Post-Match Reactions
Man City: Pep Guardiola admitted that Manchester City is facing tough times. Their 1-2 loss to Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup has intensified injury woes, leaving just 13 first-team players fit.
City missed key players like Kyle Walker, Rodri, Oscar Bobb, Jeremy Doku, Kevin De Bruyne, and Jack Grealish in this round. Manuel Akanji was substituted before kick-off, and Savinho had to be carried off in tears due to an ankle injury in the 63rd minute. This defeat is unusual for City, and Guardiola noted that the situation is worsening ahead of their Premier League match against Bournemouth on Saturday, followed by a Champions League game against Sporting Lisbon.
Tottenham Hotspur: Ange Postecoglou is breaking Tottenham’s trophy drought. With this win over Manchester City, they’ve advanced to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, where they will meet Manchester United.
Postecoglou has claimed he usually wins trophies in his second season, and this match supports that idea.
Tottenham hasn’t won a trophy since 2008. After last weekend’s loss to Crystal Palace, bouncing back against a former Premier League champion is a significant reason to celebrate.
Their next challenge is against Manchester United, scheduled for the week of December 16.
