Manchester City lost 2-1 to Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup. It is the first defeat for Manchester City in all tournaments this season. Talking about the match, goals from Timo Werner and Pap Matar Sarr kept the hosts in control during the fourth-round match. The brilliant finish by Matheus Nunes in first-half stoppage time raised hopes of the comeback of Pep Guardiola's team, but he could not score the equalizer in the second half of the match, and the team had to face defeat.

The amazing start Spurs got through a brilliant beginning from Timo Werner could have been a nervous second half before the visitors equalized through Nunes on the stroke of halftime. However, Spurs continued to fashion the better chances. Werner, Brennan Johnson, and Dejan Kulusevski all missed good chances.

When Nico O'Reilly's effort was parried by Yves Bissouma in the final minutes, City had their best chance to tie the score and win an exciting match at the Hotspurs Stadium. United and Spurs will now play one another in the quarterfinals on December 17.
