Bravo for Man City again as they win another shootout

Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy reacts after missing during the penalty shootout

Manchester City’s rampant season gathered yet more momentum on Tuesday as the Premier League leaders fashioned a dramatic win in a penalty shootout at Leicester City after a 1-1 draw to reach the League Cup semi-finals.

Pep Guardiola’s City, even with a second-string team, looked to have booked their last-four place with a first-half Bernardo Silva goal until Leicester were awarded a soft-looking penalty seven minutes into stoppage time which Jamie Vardy converted.

After extra time produced no further goals, City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo, their hero with two saves in a penalty shootout win over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the previous round, again delivered, saving Riyad Mahrez’s final penalty in the 4-3 shootout win.
